Service Changes Effective Dec 23: New Route 31 Ogden & Holiday Adjustments

By Announcement, Transit

Effective December 23, 2024 MiWay will make adjustments to two routes and service frequency changes in order to:

  • Respond to road construction at Dixie Mall
  • Align service with seasonal demand during the holidays

Changes to Route 5 Dixie and Launch of Route 31 Ogden

In response to Dixie Road construction, a permanent route is being introduced to provide consistent, reliable service for riders along Dixie Road and in Lakeview. Route 5 Dixie southbound will no longer service Ogden Road. Instead, the new Route 31 Ogden, operating seven days a week, will replace the temporary Ogden Shuttle, offering direct access from Dixie Outlet Mall to Long Branch GO and along Ogden Road. This change will enable riders to plan their trips online with greater accuracy and reliability.

Seasonal Adjustments for Holiday Demand

From December 23 to January 5 seasonal service frequency changes will be in place to align with holiday travel demand.This includes a reduced schedule during weekdays and special holiday service on certain routes. Key changes include:

High School Routes: Due to high school holiday closures, all 300-series routes will pause service from December 23, 2024, to January 3, 2025. Regular service resumes on Monday, January 6, 2025.

Ride Free New Year’s Eve: To encourage safe holiday celebrations, MiWay will offer free rides beginning at 7 p.m. on December 31. Several key routes will operate until 4 a.m. on January 1 to support riders getting home safely.

GO Service changes

By Transit

Metrolinx conducts comprehensive reviews and adjustments to GO Transit schedules throughout the year. This is done to ensure that services align with customer needs and resources are allocated to where they are most needed.

Beginning Saturday, December 7, GO bus service will reduce on some routes serving post-secondary institutions due to lower demand as classes end and holidays begin. We’ll still have service to get students to and from exams.

  • Route 25 and 47: a few trips will not run starting December 7, with further reductions December 21 through January 3.
  • Routes 15, 29, 30, 41, 52, 56 and 88: some trips will not run starting December 21 through January 3.
  • Service on these bus routes returns starting January 4, 2025.

Beginning Saturday, December 21 and through January 3, GO bus service on some routes will reduce due to anticipated lower ridership during the holiday season.

  • A few trips on routes 27 (Milton/North York), 31 (Guelph/Toronto), 36 (Brampton/North York)  will reduce.
  • Service on these bus routes returns starting January 4, 2025.

Here are a few important reminders to make it easier to travel on GO. 

Riders can check schedules to plan trips.

  • Schedules have changed for some of our services, community members can check schedules in advance to plan trips ahead of time.
