GO Transit will begin bus service tomorrow between Kitchener-Waterloo and Mississauga with stops in Cambridge, Milton and Aberfoyle.
There will be 11 eastbound trips and 12 westbound trips on weekdays and limited weekend service from Mississauga Square One Mall to downtown Kitchener. Stops will include Wilfrid Laurier University, University of Waterloo, Cambridge SmartCentre, and the Aberfoyle park and ride lot.
At 6:35 and 7:10 a.m., eastbound buses will stop at the Milton GO Station, allowing riders to connect with the Milton GO Train service to Toronto's Union Station. At 5:22 and 6:28 p.m., westbound buses will leave Milton GO Station after the arrival of evening GO Trains from Union Station.
A park and ride lot is now open to commuters at the Regional Road 25 and Highway 401 interchange in Milton. Three additional park and ride lots will open as warranted to support the new Kitchener-Waterloo to Mississauga GO bus service.
