It comes with some route changes and schedule adjustments, as well as the launch of the annual winter storm schedule.
Transit Services General Manager Renée Amilcar said in a memo that the seasonal change aims to bring service adjustments and improvements for riders.
These changes are part of OC Transpo's regular seasonal adjustments and not linked to the route review that is proposing sweeping changes to service next year.
There will be weekday schedule adjustments on Routes 5, 12, 15, 50, 51, 56, 62, 82, and 110. Weekend schedules will be adjusted on Routes 2, 5, 6, 7, 9, 10, 11, 12, 14, 16, 18, 19, 20, 24, 25, 30, 34, 35, 38, 39, 40, 42, 44, 45, 51, 55, 57, 61, 62, 63, 74, 75, 80, 81, 82, 85, 87, 97, 131, 138 and 170.
The memo says the same number of trips will still provide the same capacity as today.
Routes 261 and 263 will be changed to operate via Palladium Drive to Highway 417 to improve service to the community surrounding Derreen Avenue, Amilcar says. This change will remove stops from the Canadian Tire Centre bus loop and on Huntmar Drive between Palladium and Cyclone Taylor Boulevard. Service to the CTC will be maintained via Routes 62 and 162.
