News release
Milton Transit ridership surpassed one million trips in 2024, and an annual report to Council highlights plans for further growth in 2025.
Ridership for conventional and on-demand services rose 73 per cent compared to 2023, totaling 1,072,922 fare-paying trips in 2024.
The 2024 growth came as Council approved plans for future improvements, expansion, and modernization. Milton Council identified increased transit investment as a priority in the 2023-2027 Strategic Plan.
Key projects in the 2025 Milton Transit work plan include:
Summer 2025:
-
Introduce the Diesel-to-Battery Electric Bus into service.
Fall 2025:
-
Launch Sunday service.
- Extend weekday evening service to 10:30 p.m.
- Expand service to the Boyne neighbourhood.

- Develop the Transit Garage Facility
Ridership in 2025 is projected to exceed 2024 levels by up to 25 per cent due to continued population growth and post-secondary expansion.

“Milton Transit continues to help more people get to work, school and other important locations. Adding service on Sundays, later on weekday evenings, and in new areas will help us keep pace with Milton’s increased mobility needs and smart density goals.”
