Actually I do drive there. But there is an actual bus stop there. I don’t know where the bus comes from though

I think the tennis club and Huron Park community centre currently get limited service on the 4 route, but only once in the morning and once in the mid-afternoon, to serve the local schools. The 2030 map above would put it on the regular route of the 6, and cut a 5 km loop from the route of the 4.

Went to a community early this year and you have to walk from/to Dundas to get to/from Huron Park as there is no service to it regardless a bus stop is there.

There most definitely is limited service on route 4 to Huron Park. It's even called out on the system map!

It doesn't appear to be very impressive or useful - there are only 2 daily departures - but yes, for the purposes of this discussion, it does exist. And why you'd walk from Dundas, instead of Mavis and Paisley and half your journey length, is a mystery to me.

To be fair, two buses a day isn't much of a service.

This 2030 map in the survey would provide Huron Park will service every 30 minutes and eliminate huge doglegs in both routes. Hopefully, they won't wait too long to implement it. I don't think it would require extra buses to operate.

Yes I did fact check but the times of buses did not meet my schedule. 2 or 3 buses a day is not quality of service to incurrage people to use transit. As for walking from/to Dundas is again quality of service when using the 101 in the first place. It was faster walking than wait for a 4. Have walked faster from a stop to x than wait for a bus and do this a lot in Toronto for streetcars.

Quality of service is not there in Mississauga to incurrage people to use transit today let alonge in 2000 that started me on my Transit and Urban advocateies route. It is there if you are a student but not as a worker who needs to get to work on time or run after their shift ends.

it will be interesting to see what gets added, cut or deferred to miway budget in 2026 that happens to be a election year with the city looking at a 10% tax hike for the city itself Council has trim miway buget in election year in the past and expect the same for the 2026 budget. Will the deferred 2025 buses get order in 2026 to the captial budget could lower this year or will be be doing what took place back in 2018 and extened the life cycle of the buses from 15 years to 18-21 years??

Only have to look at the 3rd garage that been kick down the road since 2011 that the city cannot add more buses to the existing fleet as there is no room for them at the current 2 garages.?? There was talked a year or so ago of ordering artic's in place of 40's to deal with overcrowding and close doors issues but how large will the fleet be that is mostly 40's as you are doing a 3 to 2 to maintain the existing space for 500 buses?? Right now, buses are been removed from various routes to increase service on X routes for more service and cutting service on those routes where buses are been removed to supply the routes needing more service.

I know that the level of service offered is not attractive... but to describe the situation as no service is just plain inaccurate. Very, very, very bad service is still a form of service.

Everything that you write only encourages me that the answer is to encourage as much higher density in all the areas surrounding MCC hurontario and port credit. We need to encourage as much walking, biking as possible. Even if it’s just to a “mall”. So my issue isn’t so much Mississauga transit because i don’t believe that there is a need or a way to serve within Mississauga. Things like waymo will be able to handle cul de sacs a lot better than transit stops far from people’s doors. Unless we’re going to rip out roads and roads of SFH and uprise this is the situation. As a result Transit needs to solve the how to get to Toronto faster. But that’s just my opinion.
