Starting Monday, Oct. 23, there will be MiWay service changes that include service improvements and reductions based on customer demand, and updated schedules on several routes to improve service reliability based on increased traffic volumes.
MiWay ridership is at an all-time high and this growth continues to put pressure on the transit network capacity. MiWay continues to adjust routes and service frequencies to ensure that services remain responsive to evolving customer demand based on the resources available.
Saturday service resumes on Route 101 Dundas Express
To provide additional service capacity along the Dundas corridor, the Route 101 Dundas Express will resume Saturday service and operate every 21 minutes throughout the day. This increase in service is due to consistently high customer demand on Route 1 Dundas on weekends.

- 4 Sherway Gardens: will operate every 34 minutes on weekdays from 2 pm to 6 pm.
