Not as consequential, but I thought this was pretty cool from a promotional standpoint.

Big fleet upgrade coming: 36 diesel and 7 electric buses from New Flyer. Of interesting note: these will be some of the first to be fully built in Canada.

While the diesel might still be partially built in the US. As they have the set up now.

Metrolinx deleted their roll plans for the DSBRT. Did anyone download them or have a copy?

Announced yesterday that construction for the first segment of the median DSBRT in Ajax is scheduled to begin.
Construction expected to last 18 months from August 5 to end of 2026.
The first segment is on Kingston Road from approximately 300 metres west of Harwood Avenue to Galea Drive in the Town of Ajax (which is about 700m east of Kingston/Salem intersection).

Excited to see this finally get started. But I remember the phasing plan saying construction would start in Pickering. Does anyone have the latest phasing plan?
Was just on this stretch of Kingston road today and it is so congested. Lots of people using the bus lane as a bypass for congestion. Hoping there is physical separation of the bus ROW from the roadway.

I tried looking for any updates about a newer phasing plan but I wasn’t able to find one except for an InSauga article.
From the article:
KAPP Infrastructure is said to mobilize the work for the work from around Hardwood/Kingston and Galea Drive/Kingston.

It seems odd to me that they haven't restored 15-min service on the 920. Maybe it's because the 921 trips have taken some of the burden off that branch? I'm not sureDRT's Fall Service Changes are up:

December 2025 service updates
Durham Region Transit December service updates
www.durhamregiontransit.com
A modest service enhancement is coming December first as route 112 will go from every 60M service on weekends to every 30M service on weekends.
Too bad they didn't address span of service in the same move; service still winds down by ~7pm on the weekends (before 8pm at all stops)

Just thought I'd post a photo of a newly constructed rual Bus stop. This stop is on Reach St. just west of Port Perry. The chain link fence is an interesting asthectic. The fence was built as part of the bus stop, it's not a property line fence.
