MiWay Changes Express Route on Hurontario due to LRT Construction 

By Covid-19, Hurontario LRT, Issues

July 28, 2020

Effective August 3, MiWay will revise Route 103-Hurontario Express as part of its second phase of routing changes along the Hurontario corridor. These adjustments are required to help minimize service impacts due to the Hurontario Light Rail Transit (HuLRT) construction, which began in late March.

Due to the anticipated reduction of traffic lanes south of the QEW in the upcoming months, Route 103 will no longer travel south of The Queensway to the Port Credit GO Station and instead, will travel between the Brampton Gateway Terminal and Trillium Health Partners – Mississauga Hospital, seven days a week.

Frequent service on Route 103 and other local routes on Hurontario (Routes 2 and 17) allow for convenient transfers along the Hurontario corridor. Route 2 will continue to provide local service to all stops between the City Centre Transit Terminal (CCTT) and Port Credit GO Station, and Route 17 travels between the Highway 407 Park and Ride and the CCTT, continuing to provide 24-hour service during weekdays.

MiWay reminds passengers that wearing a face covering or non-medical mask is now mandatory when riding on MiWay and inside transit terminal buildings. Children under the age of two and people with disabilities or other medical conditions that prevent them from wearing any mask are not be required to wear one. Fare collection and front door boarding have also resumed.

MiWay implemented its first phase of the Hurontario corridor routing changes in April. For details about other service changes that take effect on August 3, please visit miway.ca/aug3.

To learn more about these service changes, visit miway.ca/hurontario. For more information on MiWay’s response to the COVID-19 pandemic, visit miway.ca/coronavirus.

MiWay Changes Local Routes on Hurontario Corridor due to LRT Construction 

By Hurontario LRT

April 20, 2020

Effective April 27, MiWay will implement local route changes to the Hurontario corridor to help minimize impacts on travel due to Hurontario Light Rail Transit (HuLRT) construction, which began on March 30.

The construction officially began with the removal of medians along Hurontario Street from Matheson Boulevard to Highway 407. The planned Hurontario route changes are in addition to other recent changes and daily service adjustments being made by MiWay to provide essential transit services across Mississauga in response to COVID-19.

Route changes include:

  • Route 19 Hurontario will be replaced by two new routes: Route 17 Hurontario and Route 2 Hurontario
    • Route 17 Hurontario: travels between the Highway 407 Park and Ride and the City Centre Transit Terminal and will provide 24-hour service during weekdays
    • Route 2 Hurontario: travels between the City Centre Transit Terminal and the Port Credit GO Station and will provide 24-hour service during weekdays
  • Route 19 Variants 19A, 19B and 19C will be cancelled; route 19C alternative route options to Heartland Town Centre include Route 61 Mavis or Route 66 McLaughlin
  • Route 25 Traders Loop will be revised to service to portions of the former Routes 19A and 19B

“We’ve redesigned routes along the Hurontario corridor to minimize impacts to travel during Hurontario Light Rail Transit construction,” said Geoff Marinoff, Director, Transit. “Our priority is to maintain service reliability as best we can to help customers get to where they need to be.”

 

To learn more about these new route changes, visit miway.ca/hurontario. MiWay would like to remind residents to limit travel on transit to essential trips only to help flatten the curve. For more information on MiWay’s response, visit miway.ca/coronavirus.
