Timmins Transit Bus Service Suspended Due to Strike by CUPE Local 1544

The City of Timmins has confirmed that all Timmins Transit bus services will be suspended effective Monday, September 29, 2025, due to a strike by the Canadian Union of Public Employees (CUPE) Local 1544. The union, representing all Timmins Transit staff, have rejected the tentative agreement reached at the bargaining table and have the notified the City of their intention to strike.

As of Monday, all Timmins Transit bus services will be interrupted, including conventional bus service, paratransit service, and the Northern College Express.

The City of Timmins understands the inconvenience this will pose for many riders. We remain committed to working towards a fair and responsible collective agreement that balances the needs of transit employees, riders, and residents.

Updates on service status and negotiations, including rider information, will be shared online at
www.timmins.ca/our_services/timmins_transit, and through the City’s official social media accounts.
