Orangeville’s new Transit Hub officially opens

October 5, 2023   ·   0 Comments

The Town of Orangeville’s new Transit Hub, located behind 30 Centre Street, officially opened on Monday, Oct. 2. Route changes were made to utilize the Transit Hub on the opening day date, which will create safer, more efficient rider experiences, according to the Town of Orangeville.

The former 4th Street location will no longer be used for route changes; however, Orangeville Transit’s ‘Orange Route’ will continue to service the 4th Street stop.

“We’re working hard to continuously enhance transit in Orangeville,” said Tony Dulisse, Orangeville’s manager of transportation and development. “Along with the new Transit Hub, we recently completed a transit optimization study that, once implemented, will lead to all residents being within 400 metres of a bus stop once, servicing 98 per cent of Orangeville’s population with public transit.”

Public transit in Orangeville is also free, thanks to the town’s Fare-Free Transit pilot project. The two year pilot project will conclude at the start of 2025.

On Monday, Oct. 2, several other changes were made within Orangeville’s transit system, such as a new stop on the south side of Broadway before the intersection at Townline and Broadway. There was also the removal of the stop on Sherbourne Street and slight alterations to routes to improve efficiency.

A revised transit map and schedule can be found on the Town’s website at orangeville.ca/transit.
