The route review was approved by Guelph City Council as part of the Guelph Transit Business Service Review recommendations in 2019.
The route review outcomes were informed by data collection (e.g. ridership and stop activity data, and route-by-route on-time performance), industry best practices, and employee and public input.
The proposed transit system is a blended model that includes transit hubs, express routes, and routes that follow the city’s spine in a grid pattern as well as outer perimeter. It’s designed to get people to where they want to go with more route types (e.g. core, base, university express, on-demand, and industrial express), faster travel times, frequent service, and service reliability. Read the full Summary Document here.
Below we breakdown the route-by-route and year-by-year details, including links to proposed changes to routes, schedules, and maps.

Let Guelph Transit know what you think about their proposed plan on the survey or ask questions to Guelph Transit using the Q&A tool.
Tell Guelph Transit what they did right, what you like, if there’s something they overlooked, if something doesn’t quite work, or if something in the proposed transit system or implementation plan is going to cause you a lot of headache.

Attend a virtual town hall
Guelph Transit will be hosting two virtual town halls to share and discuss the proposed transit system and implementation plan.
The Transit Action Alliance of Guelph is looking for the implementation of key themes from the Essential Elements to Good Transit, the Guide to a more frequent, affordable, and accessible transit system and our three priorities frequency, accessibility, and affordability.
The Board of Directors will be releasing its response to the proposed plan in the coming days. In the meantime, we invite Guelphites (riders, supporters, businesses, non profits etc.) interested in helping make transit accessible, affordable, and frequent to consider becoming a member.
Stay tuned! Join TAAG for a discussion around Transit including the Transportation Master Plan, the Route Review, the upcoming Transit Master Plan, Regional Transit, and other transit matters in general at one of our future online events and/or meetings.
