Introducing a new route

99 College shuttle

Starting Monday, January 2, MiWay introduces new non-stop service between Sheridan College’s Davis campus and City Centre Transit Terminal.

Southbound buses leave the campus at 7:04 and 7:19 a.m. Mondays to Fridays, then proceed:

south- and eastward along Sheridan College Drive;
southward along McLaughlin Road South [Brampton] and McLaughlin Road [Mississauga];
southward along Confederation Parkway;
eastward along Rathburn Road West; and then
southward into City Centre Terminal,
ending their trips at platform F at 7:30 and 7:45 a.m.

Northbound buses start their trips at platform F in City Centre Terminal at 5:15 and 5:30 p.m. Mondays to Fridays, then reverse the southbound routing. They end their trips on the campus at 5:38 and 5:53 p.m.

Cancelling a branch of a route

42A Derry

Friday, December 30 was the last day that MiWay operated buses along the short-turn 42A branch of the route Mondays to Fridays during rush hours. Instead, starting Monday, January 2, it extends the 18 McLaughlin - Derry route to replace the branch, offering passengers extra rush-hour service along the route at stops east of Derry Road West / McLaughlin Road.

While most route 42 passengers continue to benefit from more service due to this service change, passengers at some stops receive less service.

MiWay is also adjusting the schedules for buses along the route.

Increasing service along routes

107 Malton express

Holiday service ends and regular service resumes.

Since more passengers travel to and from Humber College’s North campus during winter and spring, MiWay again extends the path so that buses start and end trips in Humber College Terminal.

MiWay is also increasing the frequency of service along the route and adjusting the schedules for buses along the route.

18 McLaughlin - Derry

Holiday service ends, so MiWay is resuming service along the route. It’s also extending the path so that buses operate to and from Westwood Square terminal, instead of the Hurontario / Highway 407 Park and Ride carpool lot.

on Derry Road East at Edwards Boulevard, Kenderley Gate and Kennedy Road, beyond Tomken Road, across from Maxwell Road, at Columbus and Dixie roads, Menkes Drive and Bramalea Road, east of Bramalea Road, at Vanguard Drive, across from Cattrick Street, at Airport Road, beside Malton GO Station and at Professional Court,

on Goreway Drive beyond Derry Road East, across from Dorcas Street, at Etude Drive and across from Joliffe Avenue and
