Durham Region Transit says PULSE 900 and route 902 will detour in downtown Oshawa on Saturday, October 17, 2026, from 6:30 a.m. until 11:30 p.m. because of road closures for Oshawa Tourism's annual Halloween Boo Bash.

Eastbound buses on both routes will detour via Simcoe Street, William Street and Mary Street, while westbound service stays on the regular route. A temporary stop will be served at William Street eastbound at Mary Street, and DRT says all stops along the detour route will be served.
