On Monday, Nov. 11, 2019, the Regional Municipality of York is pleased to offer free transit service throughout York Region Transit (YRT) and Mobility Plus to veterans and one companion. Immediate family of a deceased veteran may also ride free.
Veterans must identify themselves to YRT and Mobility Plus operators by showing a uniform, medal, beret or blazer. Immediate family of deceased veterans may ride free by presenting an item that identifies their relationship to the veteran, such as an identification card or service papers.
To honour the sacrifices made for all Canadians, at 11 a.m. on Nov. 11, 2019, all YRT and Mobility Plus services will pull over to the curb for two minutes of silence, safety permitting.
The Regional Municipality of York is also hosting a Remembrance Day Service on Nov. 11 at the York Region Administrative Centre, 17250 Yonge St. in the Town of Newmarket, starting at 10:25 a.m.
