DRT Route 118 gets new schedule in Pickering starting Oct. 19

Durham Region Transit has posted a new schedule for Route 118, one of six routes getting updated timetables effective Monday, Oct. 19, 2026. The new schedule and route map are now available on DRT's website, and riders on the Whites Road corridor in Pickering should review the new trip times before the change takes effect.

Route 118 is a Pickering route, running the Whites Road corridor entirely within the City of Pickering. It connects the Brock Road Park & Ride area near Highway 7 south along Whites Road and Sideline 24 to the Pickering Parkway Terminal. It is a key north-south link for Pickering neighbourhoods along Whites Road, including the Strouds Lane and Finch Avenue areas.

The new map shows the route on a temporary routing at its northern end, running along Highway 7 and Brock Road to reach the Park & Ride. Riders boarding near Highway 7, Alexander Knox Road and the Park & Ride should check the map to confirm their stop locations under the new schedule.

DRT notes that 24-hour service is available on the route, with overnight trips provided by DRT On Demand or an alternate scheduled route. Schedule times are shown in the 24-hour clock, and dashes in the timetable indicate a stop not served by a particular trip.
