City Bus Service

Transit users may purchase monthly bus passes to reduce their cost-per-ride to use the City of Owen Sound Transit System.

Single fares can be purchased on the bus; tickets or cash are to be deposited into the farebox at the front of the bus. We use the “exact fare cash" system and the Transit operators do not carry change. Single fares include transfers from one bus to the other. Riders must ask the bus driver to receive their transfer slip. 

Bus passes and single fares may be purchased by both conventional and mobility transit users. Please call (519) 376-9139 with any inquiries.

Transit passes and trip tickets are valid on both conventional and mobility transit services. 

The hours of operation are Monday to Friday 6:30 am to 6:00 pm with the last bus leaving the terminal at 6:00 pm.

On Saturdays, the hours are 9:00 am to 4:00 pm with the last bus leaving the terminal at 4:00 pm.

There is no transit (conventional or mobility) service available on Sundays or Statutory Holidays

Please note that students and seniors may be required to provide identification for their pass or fare.

*Please note that you will need to provide your most recent Ontario Works (OW) statement or
Ontario Disability Support Program (ODSP) statement for the Affordability rate.

Collapsible buggies and strollers are permitted on the bus. For the safety of all passengers, children are not permitted to be in the stroller or buggy while travelling on the bus unless it is tied down in the wheelchair location.

In-line skates, roller blades, ice skates, or skateboards are not allowed to be worn or used while on the bus; you must hold them on your lap.

As an added feature to encourage an active lifestyle, a bicycle rack has been placed on the front of every bus. These racks are extremely easy to use and can hold up to two bicycles at a time at no additional charge to the rider.

It is the responsibility of the passengers using the bike racks to secure them. If you need guidance, feel free to ask the driver.
