MiWay Service Changes Effective September 5, 2022
/
On Monday, September 5, 2022, MiWay will be implementing service changes that include adjusting service levels in the transit network to match growing ridership demand along key corridors, resuming regular service to post-secondary and high schools as students return to class, and allocating blue buses on two local (non-express) routes to help redistribute resources and improve service reliability.
Service increases due to high demand
Some routes will have increased service to respond to ridership growth and provide more capacity where and when customers need it.
Service to University of Toronto Mississauga
Routes 101/101A Dundas Express will both service the University of Toronto Mississauga on weekdays, as students return to in-person learning on campus. Weekday schedules will be updated.
Route 110 University Express will also provide regular service to and from campus. The Route 110 bus stop at the City Centre Transit Terminal will be relocated from Platform O to Platform L due to HuLRT construction.
Service to Humber College North Campus
Route 107 Malton Express will resume service to Humber College North Campus as students return to in-person learning. Weekday schedules will be updated.
Service to high schools
300-series routes to high schools will resume service; however, the PM trip on Route 304 Father Goetz-Mississauga Valley and the Route 335 Glenforest South will be cancelled due to low demand.
Blue buses will operate on two local routes
Blue buses will be allocated to Routes 11 Westwood and 66 McLaughlin on weekdays and weekends to deliver a consistent customer experience, as orange 40-foot and 60-foot buses are reassigned to busier routes to support service reliability and address overcrowding.
Service reductions due to lower demand
Service will be reduced on several routes where customer demand and ridership is consistently low. These reductions were identified after a comprehensive review of ridership across the MiWay network. The resources saved from these reductions will be reinvested elsewhere in the network to address overcrowding and increase capacity where needed.
Schedule adjustments
Schedule adjustments will be made on various routes to improve service reliability as traffic and ridership patterns continue to evolve throughout the city. A full list of routes that have been adjusted can be found here.
Holiday Service
On Labour Day, Monday, Sept. 5 and Thanksgiving Day, Monday Oct. 10, buses will operate on a holiday schedule. On National Day for Truth and Reconciliation, Friday, Sept. 30, buses will operate on a regular schedule.
