44 Bristol-London is a local route operated by YRT in Newmarket, ON.

Basic

Route 44 serves Bristol Rd., Main St. and Upper Canada Mall Ring Rd.

This route has 2 main branches:

This route serves the are of Newmarket north of Davis Dr. and west of the GO tracks. It also serves Newmarket GO Station, Upper Canada Mall and Newmarket Terminal.

44 connects with VIVA Blue at Newmarket Terminal.

History

Newmarket Transit operated another route in this area before amalgamation. YRT took over operations in 2001 and numbered it 44. Strangely, it was not numbered in the 5x series, like most other Newmarket-based routes, and instead into the 4x series, which is for Markham/Unionville routes. The only other route to do so was 66 Glenway-Summerhill, which was amalgamated into 57A.

In 2005, buses were diverted from operating through Upper Canada Mall during peak periods due to heavy traffic. Instead, buses went along Yonge St. to Bristol.

Starting in September 2007, service was eliminated during evenings, 6 days a week, and replaced with a trial 'Dial-A-Ride' service. A taxi van was chartered during these times, and any passengers wanting to ride could either board at the bay in Newmarket Terminal, or call a number for the taxi to pick them up at any stop along the normal route. The Dial-A-Ride service is somewhat flexible; it is not strictly tied to the 44 route, but it will only stop at bus stops served by route 44, and still follows the timed schedule.

In 2007, ridership for route 44 increased, even with the implementation of the Dial-A-Ride program.
