Ride Free With Mississauga Transit on New Year's Eve

Dec 15, 2008

Mississauga Transit invites people to ride its service for free on New Year's Eve from 7 p.m. until 4 a.m. on New Year's Day.

"Passengers can enjoy a safe and environmentally-responsible ride to and from events using our service," said director of Mississauga Transit Geoff Marinoff. "Let us do the driving on this festive occasion."

Mississauga Transit is sponsoring the free service on all routes from 7 p.m. on December 31, 2008 until 4 a.m. on New Year’s Day, January 1, 2009, and running extended-hour service on many routes so that buses will depart from local malls and GO stations after midnight.

The extended-hour service listing and Mississauga Transit's holiday service levels from Wednesday, December 24, 2008 to Friday, January 2, 2009 are available in the latest issue of In Transit on www.mississaugatransit.com.

CBS Outdoor, Mississauga Transit's onboard and bus shelter advertising contractor, is assisting with the Ride Free New Year's Eve service promotion.

Travellers can find customized route and schedule information by:

• visiting www.mississaugatransit.com and using Click n' Ride, the online trip planner
• calling Citylink, the 24-hour automated information system, at 905-615-4BUS (4287) and entering a four-digit bus stop number for the scheduled bus departure times at that stop for any day of the week
• calling 905-615-INFO (4636) for customer information
