Not surprised given that I travel there daily. This is why they run a lot of double decker buses on this route. Its not uncommon for these buses to fill up with standing room only.
As to how to deal with this situation. Its simple. Depart before 7am and after 10am. Those times are less crowded
When I attended Seneca@York and took the 60 Steeles West, if you got to the stop between 4:30 and 7:00pm, the kine up could be 200 people long. I started walking an extra 800 meters to Steeles Ave West, and taking express buses. Also, rocket routes and ... well ALL routes out would be huge lines. Like Opening Day at Wonderland long.
TomW - put TTC & GO in the centre lanes, and we can save costs! Replace the Sheppard subway line with the 401 Subway Line. Stations would be "above ground" with stairs reaching over the 401. :D BRILLIANT idea.

Where are they all going to???
(Maybe we should replace the middle two lanes of the 403 and/or 401 with a GO Train line.... would move far more people than the lost lanes).

@TomW
They're all going to York University. This is a very heavily travelled route during rush hour.
The bus from Kitchener to Sq 1 is always always full
