City Transit

The City of Owen Sound operates both a Conventional Transit and a Specialized Transit service.

The Conventional Transit service is a four (4)route system operating during the day Monday through Saturday. All four routes provide ½ hour service from 6:30 am to 6:00 pm Monday through Friday. On Saturdays, bus services operate between 9:00 am and 5:30 pm.

New Buses

The City's new Eldorado Low Floor Buses were put in to service in September 2005 and are fully accessible to everyone. They have a kneeling feature which lowers the height of the bus approximately three (3) inches for ease of entry as well as ramps at the front and rear doors for loading and unloading a wheelchair or scooter.

Bike Rack

As an added feature to provide the residents of Owen Sound with another option to driving and to encourage a healthy lifestyle, bicycle racks have been placed on the front of the buses. These racks are extremely easy to use and can hold up to two bicycles at a time while the customer rides on the bus. There is no extra charge for the use of the bicycle rack. Read How To Use the Bus Bike Racks.

The Specialized Transit service provides a door-to-door transportation service for residents of the City with mobility limitations that restrict their ability to use the Conventional Transit service. The service uses a wheelchair accessible bus and operates 5 days a week Monday to Friday from 8:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m.

Both transit services are operated out of the Owen Sound Transit Terminal located at 1020- 3rd Avenue East. Thomas Norris Limited provides the transit services under contract with the City of Owen Sound. Intercity bus service is also available from the Transit Terminal by Greyhound Bus Lines. Grey Bruce Air Bus provides transportation service to Pearson Airport in Toronto and Aboutown Transit provides transportation to the London area.
