September is on the calendar and that means that summer is ending and classes at secondary and post-secondary schools are starting. And, people are returning to workplaces after vacations.
All of the transit agencies in the Greater Toronto and Hamilton area are making changes to their services over the next few days — some of them, including the TTC and Brampton Transit, are making fairly extensive changes. That requires us at Transit Toronto to put together a lot of information during a short time.
We’ve decided to temporarily publish only highlights of the changes so that readers can receive information while it’s still timely. Shortly afterward, we will fill in the details for each post so you can get our usual extensive look at the various changes the agencies are making.
Starting Tuesday, September 5, Brampton Transit implements service changes, it says, to make sure its transit system “continues to move people around the city safely and effectively.”
It’s revising or extending the paths for several routes, including:
- 18 Dixie;
- 25 Edenbrook;
- 26 Mount Pleasant;
- 28 Remembrance;
- 31 McVean;
- 53 Ray Lawson;
- 54 County Court;
- 55 Elbern Markell; and
- 104 Chinguacousy express.
“Until further notice”, BT continues to suspend service along these routes (and has done so since the start of the COVID-19 pandemic):
- 18B Dixie (18 Dixie still operating);
- 21 Heart Lake;
- 92 Bramalea GO;
- 185 Dixie express; and
- 501A Züm Queen (501 / 501C Züm Queen still operating).
BT says it will continue to monitor resource availability and ridership so it can restore services as soon as possible.
