Transit News & Updates

If you’ve ever waited 20 minutes for a bus only to see three arrive at once, you’ve met the "99 Mainline Ghost." This isn't just bad luck - it’s a fixable mathematical problem. TAAG breaks down why bus bunching is paralyzing Guelph’s busiest route and why we can’t wait until 2029 for the city to fix it.

As Doors Open Guelph prepares for its exclusive six-hour window this Saturday, April 25, the Transit Action Alliance of Guelph (TAAG) has stepped in to bridge the gap between historic architecture and modern mobility. The group has released the Doors Open Guelph 2026 Transit Guide, a comprehensive navigation tool designed to help residents conquer all 11 sites without needing a car key.

As we get ready for this year’s AGM (Annual General Meeting), we’d love your input to help shape TAAG’s plans for 2026/2027.

TAAG scored a massive advocacy victory in the 2026 Guelph Budget, securing the full, seven-day-a-week expansion of Transit Route 98 after a dramatic 7-6 City Council vote! This win prevents major service delays and locks in permanent funding for programs like the Seniors and Youth Ride Free initiatives. However, the budget includes a fare increase, reminding us that the fight for frequent and affordable transit is ongoing.

Weekend GO train service to Toronto has launched with hundreds of riders. The inaugural trip was a major victory for transit advocates, highlighted by TAAG and TriTAG members linking up onboard, proving collective action can achieve better regional transit.

Discover how focusing on free youth transit is the key to building resilient, future-ready public transport systems.
