On September 6, MiWay is adjusting service on various routes to ensure that service is available where and when customers need it. MiWay continues to actively monitor all routes in the system so that service levels are responsive to customers’ needs and ridership demand. Travel patterns continue to evolve in response to the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic and recovery framework.
September 6 service changes are summarized below, including additional service to high schools and post-secondary schools, as in-person learning resumes. More details are available at miway.ca.

- Saturday: More trips added in the early morning on Routes 1 and 7, and in the late evening on Route 66
- Sunday: Earlier trips added for Route 7
- High school routes resume
Regular school service will resume on nine 300-series high school routes. Additional trips will also resume on other local routes as in-person learning resumes - More passenger-carrying capacity on busy corridors
Due to an increase in customer demand, larger buses will be used to provide some trips to reduce the potential for overcrowding on Routes 1, 66 and 103

- Service changes due to road construction
- Routes 57 Courtney Park and 61 Mavis: Route 57 (weekday service) and Route 61 (weekend service) will be revised due to the road closure caused by bridge construction on Old Derry Road over the Credit River

Other service adjustments:
- 23 Lakeshore (from Sheridan Centre): will no longer service Sheridan Centre in the early morning on weekdays and Saturday. All eastbound trips will begin at Clarkson GO Station
