Next week Collingwood transit riders will have to start paying fares again.
Town hall will also be reopening its front counter customer services starting Tuesday.
As of Monday, July 27, Colltrans and The Blue Mountains Link will be reinstating transit fare collection and front-door boarding for all riders.
Local transit will continue to operate on the Sunday schedule as it has been throughout the pandemic. The Blue Mountains Link will follow its normal schedule.
If you are riding transit, you’ll be required to wear a mask or face covering, as per the order from the Simcoe Muskoka District Health Unit.
The town is also requiring masks be worn in the transit terminal on Pine and Second Street. Those who are feeling ill and/or experiencing symptoms of COVId-19 are asked not to take transit while they are sick.
There will be hand sanitizer available on the bus.
You can purchase a transit pass for August at Collingwood Public Library or at Town Hall.
