Transit Route Changes
As part of the first phase of implementing changes that resulted from the Moving Forward project, Brantford Transit is introducing major updates to improve service across the city. These updates include:
- New two-way routes on key corridors
- Adjusted travel times and improved scheduling
- The Transit Terminal will no longer be the start and end point for all routes
- More consistent and frequent departures from the Transit Terminal
Most daytime services will now operate into the evening, eliminating the need for separate evening-only routes. For example, Routes 7 and 9 will now be served by Route 14 in the evening.
How do these changes affect me?
To help you understand how your travel will be affected, select any route below for details about upcoming changes. While Brantford Transit has included major connection points, passengers can transfer at any stop where routes overlap or where bus stops are close together.
