Some transit fares will increase on April 27 while high school student and child fares will not change.
“We strive to maintain a balance between affordable transit for customers and keeping costs low for Mississauga’s taxpayers,” said Geoff Marinoff, director of Transit. “To position MiWay as a more attractive option than a car, we continue to invest in the City’s transportation system. We began offering faster and easier service in November 2014, with the phase one opening of the new Mississauga Transitway.”
