New overnight route among service changes coming to Kingston Transit this fall

Starting Monday, Sept. 1, Kingston Transit will implement several planned improvements and seasonal service adjustments to enhance service for current and future customers.

The upcoming service changes will benefit transit customers by:

• Increasing frequency, with more routes offering 15-minute or better service during peak periods;
• Increasing access throughout the city to shift workers and other customers by offering trips beyond typical travel hours; and
• Continuing predictable weekend service across the Cataraqui River during any scheduled LaSalle Causeway closures.

The new schedules begin on Labour Day. All routes will run on a Sunday service, and regular weekday service will resume on Tuesday, Sept. 2.

Service highlights

Highlights of the service changes include:

• NEW: N1 overnight service will run from midnight to 3 a.m. every evening. It will connect the Cataraqui Centre to First Canada Avenue (at Division Street) via Brock/Barrie streets, Queen’s University, St. Lawrence College and Kingston Centre.
• Route 4 and Express 501/502 will provide 15-minute or better service along Princess Street until 9 p.m.
• Express 501/502 will provide 15-minute service weekdays until 7:30 p.m. and during select periods on weekends. · Express 601/602 weekend service will resume with Route 60 operating on weekends when the LaSalle Causeway is closed.
• Express 701/702 will provide 10-minute service during weekday morning and afternoon peak periods from Cataraqui Centre to downtown.
