August 29, 2008
HAMILTON – The City of Hamilton is pleased to announce that a cross-Mountain route and a Waterdown route have been added to HSR’s 28 regular routes with service beginning Tuesday, September 2, 2008. Bus service on the 44-Rymal route and the 18-Waterdown routes will operate weekdays during morning and afternoon peak periods every 30 minutes.
The 44-Rymal bus route starts at the Glancaster Bus Loop on the west Mountain and travels north on Glancaster Road, east on Rymal Road, north on Prichard Road, west on Stone Church Road, south on Anchor Road and east on Bigwin Road back to Prichard Road. The bus returns south on Prichard Road and west on Rymal Road back to the Glancaster Loop.
The 18-Waterdown route – the first permanent HSR bus route to service Waterdown – was designed to coincide with the Lakeshore West GO Train schedule and Waterdown High School’s bell times. Beginning at the Aldershot GO Station, the route goes north on Waterdown Road and Mill Street, west on Dundas Street, north on Highway 6, east on Parkside Drive, south on Evans Road, west on Dundas Street and south on Mill Street and Waterdown Road back to the Aldershot GO Station.
From September 2 to 5 inclusive, customers can try out 18-Waterdown and 44-Rymal for free. No HSR fares will be charged on these two routes only and no transfers will be issued. Starting September 8, HSR riders on these two routes can surrender $2.40 exact cash fare on the bus or purchase reduced rate tickets and passes at HSR retail agents across Hamilton. Regular GO Transit users can purchase a $15 HSR sticker at the time of purchase of their monthly GO Transit pass for free rides on HSR connecting buses.
Cyclists are reminded that all HSR buses are now equipped with bike racks capable of holding up to two bicycles. In addition, all GO buses on the Hamilton to Toronto corridor are also equipped with bike racks. Some restrictions apply to carrying bikes on GO trains.
