Sunday, September 3, 2017

This would have been the date that both branches of the 112 WEST MALL bus would have terminated at or operated through Renforth Station at the east end of the Mississauga Transitway. This change would have ended 112B service to Skymark Drive, with buses operating to the Renforth/Eglinton intersection and following ramps into the top level of Renforth station. However, delays to the opening of this station prevented this change from going through. Buses on this route continued unchanged, and will continue to be unchanged until Renforth station finally opens to the public.
