MiWay changes transit bus services during holiday season in Mississauga

Transit bus riders in Mississauga should take note of a number of schedule changes planned during the holiday season.

Officials with MiWay, Mississauga’s public transit provider, say various seasonal service changes will be in effect starting on Christmas Day, Dec. 25, and continuing until Jan. 7.

Included in the revised schedule is the annual free bus service for MiWay passengers on New Year’s Eve from 7 p.m. until 4 a.m. on Jan. 1.

MiWay officials say the changes are needed in order “to ensure that service is aligned with customer demand during the holidays.”

Among the changes to service will be the temporary shutting down of the 300-series routes, which serve high schools and students across the city.

Those routes won’t be operating while schools are closed down for the holiday season. They’ll run again beginning Jan. 8.
