Not to drag the discussion further off topic, but drum118 has made these comments about the 110 on various forums over the years. I have objected to them in the past, and I will object here too. In doing so I will present MiWay automated passenger counter data from Fall 2023 (late...

Mississauga staff have a report on next week's Committee agenda about the subject as well. The TTC fare integration will cost MiWay about $7M in annual lost revenue with the province reimbursing, however the integrated fare will be available on Presto only. Staff plan to pilot the integration on...

Mississauga staff have drafted a report recommending endorsement of the interim design of the Dundas BRT in Cooksville, which is the segment between Camilla Road and Confederation Parkway. Due to the challenges around property acquisition, the preferred alignment in this segment opts against...

The 100 was a terrible use of resources when it was launched back in 2018, and it would be just as terrible if it was bought back. For context, in fall 2019 the 100 had approximately 1,600 weekday boardings. The 107 Malton Express and 109 Meadowvale Express had approximately 6,200 and 8,400...

Some MiWay items of interest at next week's General Committee and Transit Advisory Committee meetings: MiWay 2024 Hybrid Bus Procurement Update The initial bid prices for the 82 40' hybrid buses were over the original $85.2M budget initially approved. Additional funding of $9.5M is requested...

There are medium-long term plans to have BRT running further west on Lakeshore. The reason only the small segment between East Ave and the city limits is being built currently is due to clauses within the federal infrastructure funding (ICIP) which requires projects to be complete by 2027 in...

I obtained MiWay's automated passenger counter (APC) data for the October 2022 service period (Late October-mid December) and used the data I already had from the October 2019 service period to do a deep analysis of MiWay ridership and demand changes pre-and post covid. All figures are based on...

The 165 buses are all replacement buses to replace 2003-2006 40' buses and the 2010 60' buses. There is no reduction because many of the 2003 buses were retired and replaced in 2018 and 2019. Further 16 40' buses will be replaced by 16 60' buses for a increase in capacity. On next week's General...

Would you happen to have the full document they sent you of this Service Performance Evaluation with all the other figures like scheduled service hours per route, etc.?
