Timmins Transit Strike Continues – City Urges Union to Resume Talks

Timmins Transit bus services remain suspended after five days of strike action, with no confirmed date on when negotiations will resume. The City is encouraging CUPE Local 1544 to return to the bargaining table so that a sustainable agreement can be reached.

“Despite the workers walking off the job, we remain committed to reaching a final agreement that balances the needs of transit staff, while being fiscally responsible to taxpayers,” said CAO Dave Landers.

The Timmins Transit strike is currently impacting all transit services including conventional bus, paratransit service, and the Northern College Express.

Riders who had pre-purchased their October bus pass can receive a full refund by contacting Timmins Transit at (705) 360-2600 ext. 3500, Monday to Friday between 8:00 a.m. and 4:00 p.m.
