In recognition of the National Day of Mourning and to pay tribute to Queen Elizabeth II, Milton Transit buses will pause all service for 96 seconds at 1 p.m.

This pause coincides with the Provincial moment of silence following Her Late Majesty’s State Funeral on Monday, the last day of the official period of mourning in Canada.
