MiWay, the City of Mississauga’s transit provider, will provide more frequent service on the four “popular” routes in efforts “to meet customer demand,” transit officials said in a news release on Tuesday.
They added they’re also updating schedules on a number of other routes in order to align with GO Transit train service at Cooksville, Streetsville and Malton GO stations.
The system upgrades, set to take effect Feb. 24, are the latest in an ongoing series of enhancements geared towards improving reliability of service “as traffic and ridership patterns continue to evolve throughout the city.”
The more frequent bus service will be implemented on the following routes:
