Nov. 11 at 11 a.m.: Honouring our Veterans on Remembrance Day

Posted on Thursday, November 09, 2023 04:25 PM

Burlington Transit will be remembering those who fought for our freedom by honouring all veterans on Remembrance Day. We will be pausing service for two minutes of silence on Saturday, Nov. 11, 2023 at 11 a.m.

Just before 11 a.m., our buses and specialized vehicles will stop in a safe spot and stay there until the moment of silence has finished. The Downtown Transit Terminal will also pause service at 11 a.m.

All service will resume after the two-minute pause.

Service hours
Burlington Transit will run on a regular schedule on Saturday, Nov. 11. The Downtown Transit Terminal at 430 John St. will be open from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. Our specialized dispatch office will be closed.

Detours
Burlington Transit buses will be detoured throughout downtown Burlington and Hamilton for their Remembrance Day processions and ceremonies.

For detours, real-time bus information, and schedules, please visit myride.burlingtontransit.ca.

More buses to get you where you need to be! You told us that you wanted more frequent service. We heard you! Starting Sept. 3, you’ll see more buses on the road getting you where you need to be. We are increasing our service on Route 1 Plains, 2 Brant, 3 Guelph, and Route 12 Upper Middle.

Route 1 will be arriving at your stop every 12 minutes between the morning and afternoon peak hours. Route 2 and 3 will be picking you up every 15 minutes all day, then every 30 minutes in the evening. You’ll also see Route 12 more often, with a bus arriving at your stop every 30 minutes all day, every day. 

Our overview of service chart below details all the service frequency changes coming your way in September.

Along with putting more buses where you need them most, we are also making minor schedule changes to help you connect with GO Transit.
