Canadian Forces veterans may ride Mississauga Transit with a companion for free on
Remembrance Day, November 11.
"To obtain a free ride on Remembrance Day veterans must wear their uniforms, medals or
other items that clearly identify them as veterans to Mississauga Transit operators," said
Mississauga Transit director Geoff Marinoff. "Veterans are respectfully asked to identify
their companion to the transit operator so that he/she may also ride free."
A minute of silence at 11 a.m. will be observed aboard all Mississauga Transit buses to
recognize the sacrifice made by our veterans. Transit operators will stop their buses during
this tribute.
