MIWAY NOTICE – Upcoming MiWay Service and Fare Changes Starting Dec. 21, 2020

By December 7, 2020Events, Issues, Resources

MiWay will be implementing a series of upcoming service changes over the next month – the most notable being that 11 MiWay routes will now be anchored at the new Kipling Bus Terminal, instead of the TTC Islington Subway Station, starting on Monday, Jan. 4, 2021. This Metrolinx facility is located at Dundas Street and Subway Crescent in Toronto.

In 2021, MiWay fares will remain unchanged and customers are encouraged to use PRESTO as a contactless form of payment. As of January 1, 2021, paper tickets will no longer be accepted; MiWay will continue to accept Special Purpose tickets, which are used by charitable and not-for-profit organizations, school boards, food banks, and social services clients.
