That's an interesting fact, didnt know about the GM being an ex-TTC employee. Anyways, if that's the case that the Commissioner of Transporation oversees the GM, and if he directed them to put into place this idiotic decision then I truly feel sorry that Mississauga has fool meddling in the affairs of transit in the city.

Speaking of new buses. One of the 215x back end artics were spotted at Winnipeg a few weeks ago. I’ve been told it was removed and shipped off to Crookston.

Since the GTA is slowly recovering from Covid, looks like service on most routes have been getting more ridership. Does MiWay also have plans to add artics on the 110 and school routes during September??? Everyone’s going in school and I’ve spotted a D60LFR out on the 110 today

Not the way to build ridership and setup a successful LRT.

Why in the hell are they reducing the 109?
Their rational is likely "oh we're bringing back the 107, so the core section of the 109 is well served". Sorry but no, they need to go back to the drawing board. They are severely underestimating how well in demand that service is on the 109.

Lack of ridership is the main reason.
Why have empty or near empty buses on the road wasting resources???
Until ridership increases to where it was before the COVID-19 mess or ridership increase, best to increase headway to save funds or use those funds somewhere else.
Have you looked at the ridership to say it not the right thing to do for any route 3 days in a row at the same time to see how many riders are on the bus in the first place??
Mississauga is also lacking buses since no replacement have been order starting with the 2003 that are nearing their 18th year in place of their 15th where a few maybe still on the road. Then there is the 2005 and 2006 that are over due for replacement along with articulated buses.
No idea why the Fed's not funding Mississauga 450 buses replacement when Brampton, Halifax are seeing 400 plus being replace as well other places across Canada. All Mississauga buses are to be hybrid only.

Sure the ridership on the 109 has certainly gone down over the past few months, but if they think come September it will continue being that low then they are dreadfully wrong.
It wont surprise me at all to see some very busy buses midday because of this nonsense.

As someone that has been dealing with Mississauga transit on all levels since 2000, I would be the first to jump all over them on service, but the case at this time doesn't support it. Midday has been a mix bag in the past and with COVID-19 it at its lowest level since it went into service. Time will tell which one of us is wrong.
Other than school, I see no change for riders who maybe returning to the office and not working from home. Very few companies going back to 100% office use at this time and will be luckily to see 50% come Sept.

This is possibly the worst September service change I've seen across the board in the GTA so far. Even last year at least had some changes, and it was mostly to bring back the cancelled routes due to the early pandemic. There is no growth at all, and our only form of RT for now via the transitway is completely atrocious. The main route (109) is getting canned with terrible 20 min service while our other important route (107) is also getting underperformed so that our happy Malton, East Brampton and Etobicoke riders can feel the sense of freedom as they ride on a heavily overcrowded bus packed with no social distancing and every seat taken while there is no room to enter or exit the bus. Speaking of such, hopefully Brampton can be a miracle come through with their service improvements, especially with the 505 Zum as this would help Malton and the Airport Rd corridor drastically with its extension to the Airport.
