They would usually come into effect for the April, May and June billings.

Starting tomorrow, Welland Transit will operate from 8:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m. seven days a week on Community Bus Routes.

Niagara Region Transit will also operate on an hourly frequency Monday to Friday.

The Port Colborne Community routes will run from 8:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m. Monday to Friday starting next week.
