The London Transit Commission (LTC) has announced upcoming service interruptions beginning April 19, saying its Saturday service will soon operate on a traditional Sunday schedule while Sunday service will operate on a Christmas Day schedule.
The LTC initially announced on April 9 — a day after announcing that one of its drivers had tested positive for COVID-19 — that service would be impacted on several routes from April 12 to 19 in anticipation of a new schedule under development based on decreased resources.
On April 14, the LTC revealed the details of that new schedule, which will also see all routes operating from Monday to Friday operating on a Saturday level of service. Exceptions include industrial routes 28, 30, 36 and 37, which will run as normal “in order to provide service to the industrial areas.”
In addition, routes 33, 90, 91, 92, 94, 103, 104 and 106 will no longer operate, nor will Route 17B to Riverbend or Route 20 through the Beaverbrook/Oakcrossing area. The LTC also says community bus routes 51, 52, 53, 54, 55 and 56 will no longer operate.
“Though these reductions affect frequency, they continue to provide for the most coverage across the city possible,” the LTC said in a release.
The LTC says updated schedules for all routes will be available on its website, and transit riders can find real-time information on its Infoweb portal or through its interactive phone system at 519-451-1347.
Specialized transit, meanwhile, will continue to operate “with service levels being matched to demand.”
