FAQsWhen do the buses run?
What is Zone Express? Zone Express is a unique call-on-demand service. This service is provided Monday to Saturday, from 9:25 pm - 12:25 am, and Sunday from 8:00 am to 8:00 pm. See Zone Express What is Late Night Service? Late Night Service is a drop-off-only service. At 12:25 am and 1:25 am, 4 buses meet the last two GO trains from Toronto at the Oakville GO Station. Passengers board the bus for either North-East, North-West, South-East or South-West Oakville and the driver creates a route on the spot. Where do they go? Buses route within the Town of Oakville and make connections to Burlington Transit and Mississauga Transit. The connection for Burlington Transit is at Lakeside Village Plaza. The connections for Mississauga are at South Common Mall on Erin Mills Parkway and at the Clarkson GO Station. How do I pay? You can pay with cash (exact fare - no change available on board) or with Oakville Transit tickets or monthly passes previously purchased at ticket agents. Valid GO Train tickets accompanied by a pass or exact fare for the GO Fare Integration Program are accepted as well. During the winter, some drivers have the temperature in the bus quite high while the passengers are bundled up against the cold. Why do they have the bus so warm? Under the Occupational Health and Safety Act, the bus is defined as the drivers work place and many drivers spend up to eight hours driving. As all of us are aware, driving with a big heavy parka on is difficult and uncomfortable at the best of times. As a result of the time spent driving and the Occupational and Safety Act requiring an employer to provide a safe and healthy workplace, the drivers are entitled to heat their workplace to their comfort level. Often the wire baskets by the shelters and stops are overflowing with garbage. Why doesn't Oakville Transit empty these on a regular basis? Several years ago the Town of Oakville turned the process of collecting garbage over to the Region. This included the collection of garbage from the wire baskets around the shelters and some bus stops of Oakville Transit. When we receive a call we immediately pass the information on to the Region who then contacts the contractor. Oakville Transit does not have the staff or the equipment to empty the wire baskets. Who do I call if I have lost an item on the bus? Please call our main line at 905-815-2020, and ask for "lost and found" to find out if your item has been found. All lost and found items must be claimed at our office at 480 Wyecroft Road, during our office hours, Monday to Friday, 8:30am to 4:30pm.
