Transit During Trent's Exam Period

To our membership,

Please read the update below regarding Peterborough Transit during upcoming final exams:

Peterborough Transit is confident in their ability to deliver undisrupted service during the upcoming exam period. In addition to recently hiring more drivers, transit has additional route 6 runs planned if current base service reaches capacity. Full schedules and real time bus tracking can be found on the Transit App. Peterborough Transit would like to remind students to allow extra time to get to campus as unforeseen circumstances may arise, such as inclement weather.

The TCSA would like to also recognize that a motion was passed at Peterborough City Council on December 5, 2022 that would see the current transit system return to a hub-and-spoke model (all buses travelling to the downtown terminal) effective February 1, 2023. This motion is going back to council for a final vote and the TCSA, along with other stakeholders, will be addressing the potential issues this change may bring. Although the motion does have a date of February 1, 2023, services changes, as per our contract with the city, are not to be implemented during the academic year. We will continue to have discussions with city councilors and other stakeholders and will keep you informed of any updates as we receive them.

If you have any questions or concerns, please email bus@trentcentral.ca.
