Regional council gave final approval Wednesday to its plan for expanded Grand River Transit service in Cambridge beginning Sept. 4.
The $1.5 million expansion will see changes that create a "simplified network that connects directly to major destinations, and expanded evening and weekend service."
Redesigned routes in east Galt, north Galt and Preston areas will provide more direct connections between neighbourhoods and major destinations, including shopping centres, schools and employment areas. Hours of operation and service frequency will be increased on weekday evenings and weekends.
The GRT says the changes support current travel patterns and will increase long-term ridership to support the expansion of ION light rail to Cambridge.
We’re expanding service in Cambridge in September 2023! We’re adding 18,000 hours of new service, more direct travel options, and new evening and weekend service.
