Service Changes start on Monday, July 1

Updated: June 12, 2024

Routes 49A McDowell and 70 Keaton will have additional trips due to increased customer demand, Route 24 Northwest will move to Platform A at Westwood Square Transit Terminal, summer school service will run from July 2 to 29 and there will be additional late evening service on Canada Day.

New trips added due to high customer demand

The routes below will have additional service based on ridership growth.

49A McDowell

  • New weekday eastbound trip arriving at Streetsville GO at 7:57 am to connect with the 8:04 am Toronto-bound trip on the Milton GO train line.

70 Keaton

  • New weekday eastbound trip departing Matheson Boulevard and Hurontario Street at 4:40 pm.
  • This route will no longer travel on Whittle Road due to permanent lane changes as a result of Hurontario LRT construction; instead, it will service alternative stops on Hurontario Street.

Platform change at Westwood Square Transit Terminal

To reduce bus congestion at Platform D due to multiple routes sharing the platform, Route 24 Northwest will move from Platform D (stop #1687) to Platform A (stop #2850).

With fewer buses at this stop, this change will also help support the safety of customers boarding the bus, and Transit Operators driving through the terminal.
