Holiday transit guide: December 16 to January 8



During the weeks before and after Christmas and 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, Hamilton and the Golden Horseshoe are revising their services. Recent and upcoming posts detail some of those changes:

  • less service to colleges and universities, here;
  • revised service, December 16 to January 8, 2018, here;
  • “early homebound” rush-hour service, Friday, December 22, here;
  • special Christmas schedules here.
  • “early homebound” rush-hour service, Friday, December 29 here; and
  • “later service, free service, New Year’s Eve, Sunday, December 31 (to follow).

This post wraps all those changes into one comprehensive list, detailing information about each transit agency day-to-day for the first week of the holidays, from Sunday, December 17 until Monday, January 8, 2018:
