Back to SearchWhitby, Ontario – Beginning September 7, 2021, Durham Region Transit (DRT) will be introducing service changes, including an overnight service, and a new regional route to the new Amazon Fulfillment Centre in Ajax.
The service enhancements include, for the first time, an overnight network in Durham. Route N1 Blue Night service will connect Harmony Terminal in Oshawa with Centennial Circle in Scarborough, travelling along the Highway 2, Simcoe Street, and Taunton Road corridors. It will connect with the TTC Blue Night Network in Scarborough, providing residents with greater travel options. On Demand will be available throughout the urban area with connections to Route N1.
DRT is further enhancing mobility between Durham Region and Scarborough, with the introduction of regional Route 920 between the McCowan Station (Scarborough) and Simcoe/Conlin, serving major destinations such as Centennial College Progress Campus, Ontario Tech University, Durham College, and the Amazon Fullfillment Centre in Ajax.
Residents will also be able to access new Route 392 serving the Dundas corridor, west Whitby and Whitby Shores, providing access to Lakeridge Health Whitby, Durham Region Headquarters, Oshawa Centre, Ontario Shores and the Abilities Centre. Other changes include new Route 411 in south Courtice, and later service on the Simcoe Corridor seven days a week.
