Getting Around Mississauga: MiWay, GO Transit & the Hazel McCallion Line

Mississauga is Canada’s sixth-largest city and, for a long time, one of the hardest to get around without a car. That’s changing, slowly — here’s what actually exists today.

MiWay — the local bus network

MiWay is Mississauga’s own transit system, and it’s one of the larger municipal bus networks in Canada. A few things worth knowing:

• The busiest routes run along major arterials like Hurontario Street, Dundas Street, and Eglinton Avenue, generally with frequent service during weekday rush hours.
• Mississauga Transitway is a dedicated bus rapid transit corridor running roughly east-west between Winston Churchill Boulevard and Renforth Gateway (connecting toward Toronto’s transit network), with its own stations separate from regular street stops — the closest thing the city has to rapid transit today.
• Fares and route planning are handled through MiWay’s own app and website; PRESTO is accepted across the system.

GO Transit — getting to and from Toronto

Mississauga is threaded by GO Transit rail and bus service. GO stations in the city include Port Credit, Cooksville, Dixie, Erindale, Streetsville, Meadowvale, and Malton, mostly along the Milton and Lakeshore West lines — these are the fastest way in and out of the city if you’re commuting toward Toronto or connecting onward through the wider GO network.

The Hazel McCallion Line (still under construction)

Mississauga’s light rail project — running along Hurontario Street from Port Credit GO in the south up through downtown Mississauga to Brampton’s Steeles Avenue — has been under construction since 2020. As of mid-2026 it’s not yet operational; current estimates point to construction wrapping up around 2028, with testing and commissioning to follow after that before it opens to riders. It’s been delayed more than once, so treat any specific opening date you see elsewhere as provisional until Metrolinx confirms it.

Once running, it’s meant to be a genuine backbone for north-south travel through the city — for now, MiWay’s Hurontario buses cover that same corridor.

Practical takeaway

If you’re new to the city or visiting: GO Transit for getting in/out toward Toronto, MiWay (especially the Transitway) for getting around within Mississauga, and don’t plan around the LRT existing yet. Check our neighbourhood guides for area-specific notes on getting around once you’re there.
