Beginning in January 2024, Peterborough Transit will offer a new route while others will have adjustments for its weekday service.
The City of Peterborough says a new Route 12 Otonabee serving the southeast end of the city will begin on Jan. 2.
The weekday round-trip service will operate every 40 minutes between 8:30 a.m. to 5:10 p.m. with connections to Route 2 Chemong, Route 7 Lansdowne and Route 10 Technology Drive.
The new route will serve neighbourhoods in the area of Otonabee Drive, Middlefield Road and Corrigan Crescent. The city is offering a preview timetable online at peterborough.ca/Route12.
Route adjustments
The city says the following transit routes will have “service enhancements” to help increase ridership and frequency of service and offer stability:
- Route 4 Weller: Weekday service between 7 a.m. and 6 p.m. has been increased and will operate every 30 minutes.
- Route 7 Lansdowne: Weekday service between 9 a.m. and 2 p.m. has increased and will operate every 30 minutes between Trent and Fleming, both westbound and eastbound.
- Route 10 Technology Drive: The route will no longer service Pido Road. There will be a stop on Technology Drive at Pido Road.
The city advises customers to follow Peterborough Transit on social media (@ptbo_transit on X and the Facebook “Transit Services Alerts” page) or the city’s website for schedule adjustments or service interruptions and cancellations.
