Transit routes adjusted at Georgian College amid support staff strike

Students and staff at Georgian College campuses should expect temporary changes to bus and transit services while support staff strike action continues.

Barrie Transit

In Barrie, regular bus stops at the college (stops 327, 328, 330, 331 and 335) will not be in use. Barrie Transit riders are being asked to use temporary stops along Georgian Drive and Duckworth.

Direct connections between the college and Royal Victoria Regional Health Centre (RVH) will continue via Routes 8, 100, 101 and the 400, though the buses will now pick up and drop off on the north and south sides of Georgian Drive just east of Governors Drive.

LINX

The Simcoe County LINX stop 110 at the Barrie campus is also temporarily closed. Riders are advised to use the alternate stop at RVH.

For students or staff with accessibility needs, the City of Barrie’s Specialized Transit service remains available. Registered users can book rides by calling 705-792-5033.

Midland and Orillia

Changes are also in place at the Midland and Orillia campuses.

In Midland, LINX stop 600 is closed, with an alternate stop set up at 990 Jones Road.

In Orillia, stop 390 at the campus entrance is temporarily closed, and riders are being redirected to Memorial Avenue.

College officials encourage students and staff to check their route maps before travelling and allow extra time for travel while the strike is ongoing.
