Route 103 Hurontario Express Detour Update: What You Need to Know
The Route 103 Hurontario Express is going through a major detour right now, and it's causing some serious headaches for commuters. If you're used to hopping on this express bus, you're probably wondering what's going on and how to get around this mess. Don't worry, I've got you covered.
What's the Deal with the Detour?
The detour is happening because of construction work on the Hurontario LRT project. Yeah, you know, that massive project to bring light rail to Mississauga. While it's exciting for the future, it's causing some short-term pain for bus riders like us.
What's the Detour Route?
Okay, so where are these buses actually going? Well, the Route 103 is taking a detour along Dundas Street West instead of its usual route. This means you'll be riding along Dundas, all the way to Erin Mills Parkway, before rejoining the regular route. It's a long, windy road, and you'll definitely want to factor in extra travel time.
What About the Stops?
The detour also means some bus stops are affected. The good news is that most of the main stops along the Hurontario route are still operational. You can check the MiWay website or app to find the updated stop locations. But be sure to double-check before you head out, just in case things have changed.
What to Expect When Riding the Detour
It's worth knowing that the detour can be a bit chaotic. There are a lot of buses all trying to navigate the same route, and things can get a little crowded. It's also a longer ride, so be sure to bring something to read or do if you don't want to just stare out the window.
When Will the Detour End?
The bad news is that the detour is expected to last for a while. It's part of the Hurontario LRT project, and construction is ongoing. However, you can always keep an eye on the MiWay website and social media for updates on the detour.
How to Stay Informed
Make sure you're subscribed to the MiWay alerts so you're in the loop. They send out updates about detours, service disruptions, and other important information. This way, you'll never be caught off guard.
Remember:
- Check the MiWay website or app for the latest information.
- Plan extra travel time.
- Be patient, things will get back to normal eventually!
We're all in this together. Stay calm, stay informed, and we'll get through this detour. The future with the Hurontario LRT is looking bright, even if it's a little bumpy right now!
