Zone routes

On Canada Day and New Year’s Eve, five zoned routes run throughout the city alongside Route 99 Mainline. Pickups are available only at the University Centre or Guelph Central Station, while drop-offs can occur at any stop along the route. Each zoned route runs every 15 to 30 minutes.

On December 31, Guelph residents and visitors are invited to take unlimited trips on Guelph Transit for free starting at 7:00 p.m., allowing you to ring in the new year safely at no cost. Get home safely, with extended service along six zoned routes starting at 12:45 a.m.

This free service is brought to you by Natasha Pedersen, Real Estate Broker with Century 21 Heritage House.
