There are numerous ways to reach and travel around the City of Owen Sound, including:

Owen Sound and area residents enjoy an efficient transportation network that provides both Conventional and Specialized Transit service within the City of Owen Sound.

  • 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 a.m. to 6:00 p.m. Monday through Friday and 9:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. on Saturdays.
  • Mobility Transit provides residents with a door-to-door service which is specifically designed for residents with physical mobility limitations that restrict their ability to use the Conventional transit service.
