Quick facts Parent, Headquarters ...

Private companies have provided a variety of transportation services to the city since the introduction of horse-drawn street railways in 1879, which were subsequently electrified and ultimately replaced by buses about 1927. Although the city assumed responsibility for transit in the mid-1960s, these bus services have always been privately operated.^[4]

The Transit Operational Centre is located downtown at 614 Talbot Street. The stop for Aboutown's Northlink intercity bus service to London and Owen Sound was relocated to Factory Muffler, 210 Talbot Street.^[5] The Northlink service to London was cancelled December 2013.

In November 2020, the city announced a revitalized brand and suite of services for the 150-year-old public transit service. On March 29, 2021, the new service was launched, replacing the former St. Thomas Transit system.
