Milton Transit was formed on February 2nd, 1972 and was run by Milton Bus Lines until sometime in the mid 1990s. After the contract switched to [[Laidlaw Transportation]]. Bus operations and maintenance were later contracted out to [[Oakville Transit]] beginning in 2004 using its own fleet of buses.
Milton Transit was formed on February 2nd, 1972 and was run by Milton Bus Lines until sometime in the mid 1990s. After the contract switched to [[Laidlaw Transportation]]. Bus operations and maintenance were later contracted out to [[Oakville Transit]] beginning in 2004 using its own fleet of buses.


Service was reorganized and relaunched in 2008, with four new routes beginning service. Four new buses also entered service ([[Milton Transit 0801-0804|0801-0804]]) to provide increased service. Storage and maintenance responsibilities were transferred to [[MTB Truck and Bus Collision]] (MTB), located in Milton, while Oakville Transit continued to provide drivers for the service. Reliability of the new buses were problematic, with runs needing to be constantly cancelled due to major breakdowns; free service was provided during parts of 2009 to win back ridership.

Four new Milton branded buses also entered service ([[Milton Transit 0801-0804|0801-0804]]) to provide increased service. Storage and maintenance responsibilities were transferred to [[MTB Truck and Bus Collision]] (MTB), located in Milton, while Oakville Transit continued to provide drivers for the service.

[[Pacific Western Transportation]] became the new contractor on March 8, 2010, assuming operations, storage and maintenance responsibilities.<ref>[http://www.insidehalton.com/news/cityhall/article/606296--new-company-to-provide-milton-transit-service New company to provide Milton Transit service], insidehalton.com, retrieved on 2010-03-07</ref> New route 6 was also introduced at this time. Major service changes occurred September 7, 2010, which involved a major reorganization of all routes, and included the launching of three high school special routes and evening zone service meeting the last GO train.

Between 2012 and 2019, new routes were introduced Two new routes as the city expanded along with rerouting of some routes. There are plans to restructure some routes and create Home-to-Hub service in the near future.
Between 2012 and 2019, new routes were introduced as the town was expanding fast along with rerouting of some routes. As of September 2022, there are nine conventional routes and four school specials that operate in the town. On Demand was added in 2019.


==Rebranding==
==Fares==
In 2017 to celebrate the towns 160th birthday, a new town logo was created. The rebranding of buses started later. The livery uses a ''bright blue, yellow-green, red-orange & magenta'' on the passenger side. The livery is the reverse pattern on the driver side. The transit logo is bold black and bright blue.
Exact cash fare is required as operators do not carry change. GO Transit Fare Integration allows a free transfer between [[GO Transit]] and Milton Transit services by showing a GO Transit Ticket or a [[Presto]] card at any bus loops that connect with GO trains or buses.
 
All individuals with vision loss and possess a CNIB card ride for free.

Milton Transit is the transit service operating in Milton, ON. Vehicles are operated and maintained by PWTransit Canada.[1]

History

Milton Transit was formed on February 2nd, 1972 and was run by Milton Bus Lines until sometime in the mid 1990s. After the contract switched to Laidlaw Transportation. Bus operations and maintenance were later contracted out to Oakville Transit beginning in 2004 using its own fleet of buses.

Service was reorganized and relaunched in 2008, with five new routes beginning service. Four new Milton branded buses also entered service (0801-0804) to provide increased service. Storage and maintenance responsibilities were transferred to MTB Truck and Bus Collision (MTB), located in Milton, while Oakville Transit continued to provide drivers for the service. Reliability of the new buses were problematic, with runs needing to be constantly cancelled due to major breakdowns; free service was provided during parts of 2009 to win back ridership.

Pacific Western Transportation became the new contractor on March 8, 2010, assuming operations, storage and maintenance responsibilities.[2] New route 6 was also introduced at this time. Major service changes occurred September 7, 2010, which involved a major reorganization of all routes, and included the launching of three high school special routes and evening zone service meeting the last GO train.

Between 2012 and 2019, new routes were introduced as the town was expanding fast along with rerouting of some routes. As of September 2022, there are nine conventional routes and four school specials that operate in the town. On Demand was added in 2019.

Fares

Exact cash fare is required as operators do not carry change. GO Transit Fare Integration allows a free transfer between GO Transit and Milton Transit services by showing a GO Transit Ticket or a Presto card at any bus loops that connect with GO trains or buses.

All individuals with vision loss and possess a CNIB card ride for free.
