Some voters who planned to take the bus to cast their ballot in Monday’s municipal election had to wait longer than usual or make alternate travel arrangements.

Guelph Transit posted a message on social media Monday saying that service on a number of routes were reduced.

They say the reason for the service reduction was a shortage of staff to operate the buses.

Officials say they were “moving staff around and prioritizing routes to remain flexible and responsive to transit user needs”.

They asked riders to give themselves extra time and expect delays.

No word on whether riders can expect delays and/or service reduction on Tuesday morning.

Due to driver shortages, we don’t have enough Guelph Transit staff to provide full service today. We’re moving staff around and prioritizing routes to remain flexible and responsive to transit user needs. Expect delays, please give yourself extra time.
