BRANTFORD, ON – Beginning Sunday, June 25th, 2023 Brantford Transit will implement a temporary, modified schedule in response to less demand for hourly service during the evening hours and provide for more reliable service to higher demand area. As a result of a detailed review of ridership levels in the evening hours during the summer, and the lessening of service demands between 7:00 and 9:00 p.m., beginning June 25th evening hourly service will begin at 7:00 p.m. rather than 9:00 p.m. Only evening hour frequency is impacted by this change. 

Temporary schedule changes beginning June 25, 2023

  • Daytime Service (Routes 1-9) will run every half hour Monday to Saturday from 6:00 a.m. to 7:00 p.m. (no change)
  • Night Service (Routes 11-15) will run hourly Monday to Saturday from 7:00 p.m. to 1:00 a.m.
  • Sunday Service (Routes 1-9, and NWIA) will run hourly from 8:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m.
  • NWIA Express (Monday to Saturday) will run every half hour from 6:00 a.m. to 7:00 a.m. and 2:00 p.m. to 3:30 p.m. access to the North West Industrial Area is available all day via Route #8 (daytime) and Route #11 (nights)

Furthermore, due to lower ridership levels at certain locations, some low usage bus stops will be out of service during the summer months. The stops will be clearly identified as ‘out of service’ and information regarding the next closest bus stop will be provided for riders at each location. The change is being implemented to minimize the number of times a bus has to stop on a route, improving on-time performance and providing a more reliable service. 

Bus stop changes

  • Route #1 will use Ninth Ave all day and will not use Sixth Ave during peak hours
  • Routes 4a and 4c will not travel down Sympatica Cres. Riders in that area are to use stops along Brantwood Park Road
  • Route #5 will turn down Elderwood in the Oakhill area riders along Wildwood are to access stops on Elderwood
  • Route #7 will not travel down Middleton and Adams riders are to access stops along Henry St.
  • Route #8 will not travel down Woodlawn Ave at Inverness St; riders are redirected to Balmoral Drive
  • Route # 9 will not travel down Linden and Lyndhurst; riders are redirect to Grey St or Colborne St

During this time, public feedback will be monitored closely by Brantford Transit staff to help inform additional service level improvements. Information collected will be utilized in future decisions to improve service levels. It is Brantford Transit’s intention to increase frequencies in September and provide an enhanced level of service on high performing routes. 

The City recognizes that any service change can be disruptive to Brantford Transit riders and we sincerely appreciate the public’s patience and understanding while we work to assess and improve allocation of resources to meet current ridership needs.
