The University of Toronto Mississauga (UTM) Shuttle Bus is a shuttle bus service operated by the University of Toronto Mississauga which links the campus with the University of Toronto St. George and Sheridan College’s Trafalgar campus.
The service is free for University of Toronto students registered at the UTM campus holding a TCard, and available to other riders for a fare.[2][3][4] In 2012–13, the service carried approximately 340,000 riders annually,[5] with an average monthly ridership of about 25,000 in 2019.[6]
Due to City of Toronto by-laws, the UTM Shuttle Bus service is permitted to run in Toronto because it does not operate entirely within city limits, as the Toronto Transit Commission (TTC) is the exclusive and sole provider of public transportation services in the city.[7][8]
