Face masks now mandatory for Transit Windsor riders

You will need a face mask if you're planning on using any Transit Windsor service.

The new policy is effective immediately, according to a City of Windsor press release.

Any person riding the bus or standing at theWindsor International Transit Terminalmust wear a non-medical face mask, which the city says is in line with provincial and local public health requirements.

The city says that although ridership is down by about 83 per cent from pre-pandemic levels, they have slowly been increasing service since it was cancelled in March.

On Monday,the South Windsor 7 route will resume a "Saturday schedule," Monday through Saturday.

On Sunday,the Windsor International Transit Terminal will be open in anticipation of Transit Windsor's return to front door boarding and fare collection.
