What this route needs
Median provider predictions are 4 to 6.1 min later than the timetable in 3 hours of the day.
Predictions near the start are about 2.4 min later than the timetable, with a similar difference near the end. This does not establish the cause.
14:00 has 36% of predictions within five minutes of the timetable, against 65% the rest of the day.
Only 98% of scheduled trips were seen; the rest are not counted as missed.
Next investigation: test terminal recovery and the preceding trip against operational records. Predictions alone do not establish the cause.

How route 299 has been running
A short summary of what we know. We say so when we cannot answer a question.
Bottom line
We need to know where this express route picks people up before we can rate it.
Prediction sample size: Larger sample
Based on 3,636 eligible provider predictions over 18 measured days, from Oct 5, 2026 to Nov 2, 2026.
Updated Nov 3, 2026, 5:32 p.m.
Where and when did predictions differ repeatedly?
These are repeated prediction-to-timetable differences, not independently measured service failures. They use the same eligible predictions as the result above, but group by stop rather than hour, so the lists need not match line for line.
Problem times are not ranked because this service needs a purpose-specific test.

Prediction differences by stop
We do not yet have enough route-by-stop history to name a recurring problem stop. Rider reports are used as leads, not proof.

What riders want to know
Is any trip cancelled right now?
No trips start in the next 4 hoursChecks trips starting at route endpoints in the next 4 hours. This is not a historical cancellation rate.
Possible no-shows after checking feed gaps?
1 of 50 checked trips need a closer look1 of 50 trips with enough public-feed evidence had no matching position over 7 days. 0 of 50 scheduled trips were excluded because the feed record was incomplete. These are cases to investigate, not confirmed no-shows.
How did provider predictions differ from the timetable?
Checksums let anyone verify which retained timetable produced the counts. A changed count does not identify a cause, cancellation, operator decision, or passenger impact.
How this route is judged: Express / commuter route
Inbound performance must be checked at pickup points. Early outbound running after pickups are finished is not treated like early service on a regular route.
What this data cannot prove
The public feed does not provide dependable passenger counts or passed-up-rider events. A missing position does not by itself prove a cancellation, no-show, short turn or cause.
See the definitions, thresholds and evidence order
Official current feed: explicit cancellations, skipped stops and active notices.
Matched observations: vehicle positions and settled predictions tied to the official schedule.
Official timetable: what was planned, kept separate from what was observed.
Rider and operator reports: leads about routes, times and places to investigate, not numeric proof by themselves.
Provisional results, published evidence
Data behind this result
An ordinary on-time grade is not appropriate for this service without checking its purpose. The route check above explains the pickup, community-service or event evidence needed. You can still inspect the recorded trips and data gaps below.
Evidence window: October 5, 2026 to November 2, 2026
49 / 50 scheduled trips published at least one position across 5 service days (98.0%).
17:001 / 10 trips without a position90.0%
06:000 / 5 trips without a position100.0%
07:000 / 20 trips without a position100.0%
14:000 / 15 trips without a position100.0%
This is not a confirmed no-show. A missing position can mean a cancelled or missed bus, but it can also mean an unassigned trip ID or an operator-feed gap. Otranspo publishes the gap because it matters to riders while keeping the conclusion honest.
Prediction check: the last eligible provider prediction no earlier than ten minutes before the scheduled arrival, counted once per trip, stop and scheduled Toronto calendar date. It is compared with the timetable, not an independently measured arrival. Trip-position check: the timetable kept before each service day, matched to recorded positions. Exact IDs are preferred; an OC timetable suffix is matched only to one trip on the same route and date with an overlapping time window. Missing timetables, ambiguous matches and feed gaps stay labelled; they are not confirmed no-shows. Sources and limitations.
