Improved Greater Sudbury Transit Sunday Service Starts April 19

Greater Sudbury Transit is improving its Sunday, Holiday and After 10 p.m. schedules for more reliable service at every stop. Route changes come into effect starting Sunday, April 19, 2015. The improved service schedule is available at www.greatersudbury.ca/transit , the Downtown Transit Terminal or by dialing 705-675-3333.

“More efficient public transit on Sunday is a positive first step,” said Greater Sudbury Mayor Brian Bigger. “I look forward to additional improvements that create a better public transit service and I am committed to working with citizens and council to provide a more consistent transit experience for people across Greater Sudbury.”

Lasalle/Peppertree 305 is a new route that starts April 19 to better serve passengers on Sundays and holidays. Route 305 will serve stops previously on Route 300 to Lansing Avenue, between 11:15 a.m. and 6:15 p.m. Service to Cambrian College has been moved to Route 402.

Lasalle/Madison/Cambrian 300 is an existing route that begins split service on April 19 to serve passengers on Sundays, holidays and after 10 p.m. The last bus on Route 300 leaves the Downtown Transit Terminal at 10:15 a.m. and resumes service at 7:15 p.m. to run until 12:30 a.m.
