MiWay continues to actively monitor all routes in the system so that service levels are responsive to customers’ needs and ridership demand. As travel patterns continue to evolve in response to the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic, demand has grown on some routes and declined on others. MiWay is adjusting service accordingly on various routes to ensure that service is available where and when customers need it.
MiWay will be implementing the following service changes on Monday, September 6, 2021:
Adding more service where demand has increased
- Weekday: Route 107 Malton Express service will be reinstated to Humber College as in-person learning resumes. Schedules will be revised to provide 20 minute service frequency all day.
- Saturday: More trips added in the early morning on Routes 1 Dundas and 7 Airport, and in the late evening on Route 66 McLaughlin.
- Sunday: Earlier trips added for Route 7 Airport.
More passenger carrying capacity on busy corridors
Due to an increase in customer demand, larger articulated buses will be used to provide some trips on these routes to reduce potential overcrowding:
- Weekday: Route 66 McLaughlin
- Saturday: Routes 1 Dundas, 66 McLaughlin, and 103 Hurontario Express
- Sunday: 66 McLaughlin
