During the two holiday weeks before New Year’s Day, transit travel patterns change. Most schools, colleges and universities and some workplaces are closed, so many people who would ordinarily use transit don’t. On the other hand, many more people are off work and use transit more often than usually to shop or travel to holiday events. All transit agencies in the Greater Toronto Area and Hamilton will be revising their services.
this post lists transit service day by day. For more details, and for a listing of services by individual transit agencies, visit the agencies’ websites. Next week, part 2 will detail holiday service from December 28 until January 7, 2009. Earlier posts describe how transit agencies have revised their services to high schools, colleges and universities.
