HSR myRide hybrid service arrives in Waterdown

HAMILTON, ON – Beginning Monday, November 7, 2022, HSR myRide in Waterdown will change to a hybrid service that includes a fixed-route portion and an on-demand area. This evolution of the myRide pilot follows extensive service analysis and customer feedback to better meet the transportation needs of the Waterdown community.

The new fixed-route service, Route 18 Waterdown Mountaineer, will connect Waterdown to Aldershot GO Station and Burlington Transit at Plains Road. Route 18 will operate every 30 minutes between 5:25 am and 7:25 pm on weekdays and 8:25 am to 7:25 pm on Saturdays. The myRide on-demand service will continue to provide local trips within Waterdown in the on-demand zone above the escarpment.

The HSR myRide pilot launched in September 2021 with the goal of providing customers with expanded coverage, more direct trips, quicker journeys and shorter wait times. The pilot period was extended to further study and improve the service.
