Potential Service Disruption During Severe Weather

The safety of our customers and drivers is our top priority. There are times when ice and snow can result in changes to Owen Sound Transit's and GOST's existing schedule on short notice. Delays are likely during icy conditions, and poor visibility and full-service cancellations can occur when travel of any kind is determined to be unsafe.

When a change to scheduled service is required, customer alerts are posted on the City's website as soon as possible. For the most up-to-date information, people can check owensound.ca/transit or for GOST service, call Voyago directly at 519-465-0783
