Waterloo Region says that a new flexible transit pilot project will launch in Breslau, Ont., on Monday, which will be free for the summer for area residents to test out.
Route 79 Breslau will be a dial-up service which will have no fixed route or schedule. It will offer transit stops and pick-ups for riders based upon efficiency so the route will be decided by the order of efficiency.
“This pilot project expands on GRT’s existing flexible transit umbrella of services and will help determine demand and ridership in Breslau as it continues to develop,” Neil Malcolm, acting director of Transit Services, stated.
