Niagara-on-the-Lake Transit - For information Click Here The new transit system, which provides hourly bus service between Old Town and Glendale via Virgil, as well as a Spring-Fall Old Town route running on the half-hour, is the first phase of what is hoped will be a long-term effort.
It is also among the first public transit systems in Niagara (and most of Ontario) to offer a smart phone application for users. Passengers are able to scan a QR (Quick Response) Code from bus stop signs and immediately be directed to a site providing up-to-the minute bus locations through a Global Positioning System (GPS).
All buses are wheelchair accessible and are equipped with bicycle racks. A one-way fare is $3 cash only (no change) and children under 5 years of age ride for free. The previous taxi token system has been discontinued. However, remaining tokens will be honoured on the new buses as a one-way fare.
