A good amount of MiWay D40LF's did last upwards of 18-20 years but it was out of sheer necessity. In order to get that life span most of them had 3 rounds of major structural work to deal with corrosion and other frame failures, as well as multiple engine/transmission replacements. Starting...

The routes/services proposed for takeover by Argo on-demand were being contracted by Caledon and they were paying Brampton Transit for the service; the union may have their thoughts but they do not and should never have any influence over transit service levels as those are strictly business...

Your gross operating budget figure for YRT likely includes the cost of paratransit operations, which is not included in Mississauga or Brampton's gross operating budgets as paratransit service is delivered by Peel Region. I only did a quick search but I was unable to locate broken out costs for...

Effective with the April 27 service changes, the route 5 weekday midday service will be increased from 30 minutes to 15 minutes resulting in the route having 15 minute frequency during the 'core' hours of 600a to 600p on weekdays.. Unfortunately, the late evening service is still stuck at 40...

January 5, 2026 service changes 10 Bristol Cancel 2:41 northbound trip from CCT (school trip) 26 Burnhamthorpe Increase weekday midday frequency from 16 min to 15 min (10b to 11b, +1) 35 Eglinton Revised routing west of Tenth Line for two-way service on Eglinton Avenue, no longer serving Erin...

Next week's Transit Advisory Committee agenda has been posted. There are three staff presentations on the agenda which i'll attach rather than linking because if the agenda gets amended the links go dead. Some points of interest from the presentations: MiWay Service Update Presentation...

As I mentioned in the post, the 4 won't serve Mount Pleasant GO, but the 4C will. Note, I edited my post while you were replying because I originally missed the fact the 4C will still serve Worthington. Here is a crude map to help visualize things...

The new service design for the 4 will have the route 4 variant operate on Sandalwood to Walness, then loop on street via Walness, Brisdale and Clockwork back to Sandalwood. The route 4 variant will no longer serve Mount Pleasant GO. The 4C variant will operate on Sandalwood to Walness, then...

The 110's weekend service is a restoration of service that was cancelled when the COVID pandemic began. It is not really "new" service in that sense, as the 110 had weekend service when it was launched back in September 2007. It's a pretty quiet service change. October is supposed to being the...

It does not appear any buses have been officially ordered, despite budget approval being given to begin the procurement process (which is not the same as actually procuring the buses). No bus orders have been listed in the city's monthly purchasing reports and during budget committee meetings...

Improving the 403 portion would not only make the transitway more useful but also improve the transit network as a whole. Even just improvements to the current west segment such as a ramp at Glen Erin and station at Ridgeway would make it far more useful. As has been covered in this thread and...

One thing to keep in mind is there has been a significant shift in ridership patterns during and after COVID. Corridors like Derry and Eglinton had nowhere near the ridership in 2019 as they do today. I've posted ridership data in this thread in the past going back to 2019. As far as the...

Like in previous years, I was able to obtain MiWay's passenger counter data through FOI. This is the 6th year I've done this and to their credit, MiWay staff have been accommodating and efficient with my requests for data. Below I'm going to start off with a high-level system overview with some...

According to a report on the next Niagara Region Transit board agenda, GO Transit is looking to implement bus service to downtown St Catherines (while maintaining existing service to Fairview Mall): https://pub-ntc.escribemeetings.com/filestream.ashx?DocumentId=493
