MiWay service changes starting January 5

Starting this January 5, MiWay will be adding service to busy routes to help ease overcrowding. This includes the Route 109 Meadowvale Express, which will have improved service to meet customer demand and Routes 26 Burnhamthorpe and 61 Mavis, which will have improved service during the week.

More service on Route 109 Meadowvale Express

Due to increased demand, Route 109 Meadowvale Express will have more frequent service throughout the week and on weekends.

• Weekdays: New service frequency of 15 minutes or better during core hours of 6 a.m. to 6 p.m. (currently up to 20 minutes); and 20 minutes or better during evening hours of 6 to 10 p.m. (currently up to 25 minutes).
• Weekend: New service frequency of 20 minutes during core hours of 8 a.m. to 9 p.m. (currently up to 32 minutes).

Routing change on Route 35 Eglinton

The current Route 35 Eglinton only provides westbound service between Ninth Line and Ridgeway Drive with eastbound service provided via Erin Centre Boulevard and Tenth Line.

This route will be revised to provide consistent east and westbound service along Eglinton Avenue and Ninth Line with the addition of three new bus stops (#3454, #3452 and #3453) near Ridgeway Plaza.

Due to this routing change, the eastbound Route 35 Eglinton will no longer service bus stops along Erin Centre Boulevard and Tenth Line. Customers traveling within the area are encouraged to use the new Route 35 Eglinton bus stops (or existing stop #3518), take Route 9 Rathburn or Route 46 Tenth Line.

Weekday service improvements

Due to increased customer demand and to address overcrowding, the following routes will have more frequent service on weekdays.

• 26 Burnhamthorpe: From 16 minutes to 15 minutes from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m.
• 61 Mavis: From 16 minutes to 14 minutes from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m.
