The City of Barrie is recognizing Transit Operator and Worker Appreciation Day on Tuesday, March 18. Transit operators and workers play a vital role in ensuring passengers arrive safely to their destinations, each and every day.

“From the early morning hours to late at night, our transit operators are the backbone of Barrie's public transportation system. Because of them, seniors can attend their appointments, parents can transport their children to extracurricular activities, students can get to class, and individuals can commute to and from work efficiently,” shared Mayor Alex Nuttall. “Thank you to all Barrie Transit operators and workers for your continued dedication to the critical role you play in our community.”

When using Barrie Transit on Tuesday, riders are encouraged to say an extra “thank you” to their transit operator for getting them where they need to go, safely and efficiently.

Barrie Transit service operates under a contract with MVT Canadian Bus Inc. The company employs approximately 200 staff to operate Barrie Transit's fleet of 44 conventional buses and 21 specialized buses.
