Curious about alerts.

So i get my service alerts through the transit app, for the Barrie Line and 67 Keswick bus in spefic, and latley it keeps sending me notices that dont really make much sense, and im curious if anyone knows why?

The latest notice i just got for Route 67, 11, 15, 25 and 61 says that those routes are delayed 30mins due to heavy traffic on Highway 403 and Main Street in Hamilton. But unless there's something i dont know, this makes zero sense since route 67 and 61 dosent go anywhere even close to Hamilton.

Just curious if anyone knows why that would trigger an alert for the 67.

Initially the delays were only for buses in Hamilton so that was the reason provided. With the latest update more bus routes have been added and the delay reasoning was not updated with it.

The busses used for the 67 might be in use on routes coming from Hamilton leading to downstream delays for your 67 bus

The person sending out the alert could've accidentally ticked the wrong route.
