Milton Transit fourth-quarter numbers, from January till the end of March, saw an increase from the previous year.
Ridership increased by 7% compared to 2018, 10,923 passenger trips influenced by continued service loyalty and uptake from GO Transit and youth customers.
Trip demand on the specialized transit system stabilized in Q4, surpassing 5,500 in the quarter.
There was more good news for Milton Transit as expenses were down.
The net operating cost per passenger trip decreased by 2% compared to 2018.
Milton Transit is also offering seniors aged 65 plus door-to-door transit service to grocery stores and pharmacies during dedicated senior hours.
The Town recognizes that not all seniors have supports or assistance to attain these necessary items, so this new service implementation will support seniors by providing safe, essential travel during the COVID-19 pandemic.
