Updates to Trent Express, Effective January 4, 2020

The TCSA is happy to announce that we have updated the Trent Express West Bank and East Bank transit services in order to bring you more frequent service. These changes will begin January 4, 2020 and are reflected in the new printed schedule, which can be picked up in the TCSA office, as well as the digital schedule, which can be viewed and downloaded at our website: trentcentral.ca/transit

The updates to service are as follows:

  • Weekday (Monday to Friday) West Bank and East Bank service has been increased to operate every 20 minutes after 10pm, rather than every 40 minutes.

  • The Reading Week and Holiday schedule has been increased to operate every 40 minutes, rather than every 1 hour and 20 minutes.

In addition, we would like to report that:

  • The re-routing of the West Bank to enter campus from Woodland Drive between 7:40am and 9:40am has proven to be highly effective in eliminating the traffic congestion at main campus gates and ensuring buses stay on schedule. We will continue with this route Monday to Friday mornings during peak traffic hours.

  • We are working with Peterborough Transit, the City of Peterborough, and Selwyn Township to implement a transit route that will service Lakefield, Bridgenorth, Ennismore, and Curve Lake via Trent University. There will be pop-up information sessions in the Student Centre in January 2020, as well as opportunities for students to answer surveys to determine transit needs in these areas.

Any questions regarding transit can be emailed to bus@trentcentral.ca. Thank you to the students who continue to support us so that we can bring you important services. It’s here because we’re here, and we’re here because you care.
