Transit agencies often interline buses along two or more route with a common terminal to save resources — human resources (drivers) and physical resources (buses). For example, during most times of the week, after arriving in the Highway 407 / Dundas Park and Ride carpool lot, a northbound bus along the 2 Brant route continues southbound along the 3 Guelph route. After arriving in Downtown Burlington Terminal, it continues northbound along route 2 to return to the terminal.
