Mississauga Transit increasing bus service to UTM, Sheridan College and high schools

367

Mississauga Transit will be increasing service on a number of routes to post-secondary and high schools for the fall academic term. Schedule changes on other routes were also announced

Due to expected increases in customer demand to travel to University of Toronto Mississauga and the Sheridan College Davis campus (in Brampton) service will increase on:

  • 44 Mississauga Road – will operate more frequently (every 18 min) in the afternoon peak and early evening until 7 pm.
  • 61 Mavis – will operate every 10 to 11 minutes in the afternoon peak on weekdays.
  • 110 University Express – there will be more frequent service between UTM and the City Centre Transit Terminal (CCTT); service frequency will be reduced from Clarkson GO to UTM so the savings can be reallocated to the busier portion of this route.

Buses will operate every 12 minutes during the morning and afternoon peak hours, midday, and in the early evening during weekdays between UTM and CCTT.

Buses will operate every 20 minutes during the morning and afternoon peak hours, midday, and in the early evening during weekdays between UTM and Clarkson GO. Early morning and late evening frequency will be reduced to every 25 and 30 minutes, respectively.
These service increases will help to reduce – but not eliminate – overcrowding on these busy routes.

Schedules will also be updated.
