Kingston Transit operates the transit service in Kingston, Ontario, Canada as well as to the neighbouring community of Amherstview, in Loyalist Township.
The Kingston Public Transit System began service on 1 July 1962, when the city's Public Utilities Commission took over the operation of transit service from Kingston City Coach, a subsidiary of Colonial Coach Lines. The Kingston Transit name was adopted in 1975.
Kingston Transit offers service to all three schools of higher education in the region: Queen's University, St. Lawrence College, and RMC.
It also offers service to the Coach Canada bus terminal and the VIA train station.
Major transfer points are at the Kingston Centre, Downtown Kingston (at the corner of Bagot and Brock streets), Cataraqui Town Centre, and Gardiners Town Centre.
Local routes run every 30 minutes on peak (combined 15 minute service on Princess Street, Union Street, and Gardiners Road), and every 60 minutes off-peak. Service between St Lawrence College, Queen's University, and downtown Kingston can under every 15 minutes during peak hours due to the addition of an "Extra Bus" that does not run on a schedule. On evenings and Sundays, routes operate on a 60-minute frequency. Service runs from 6:00 a.m. to 11:30 p.m. on weekdays and Saturdays, and 8:30 a.m. to 8:30 p.m. on Sundays on most routes (start and end times vary by location). 17 Queen's West / Main Shuttle runs after the regular routes end service, until approximately 2 a.m. Monday through Saturday and 11 p.m. on Sundays.
Operates Monday-Saturday, approximately 6:00 a.m. to 7:00 p.m. Same schedule Runs on 60 min intervals evening (7:30 pm-11pm) and Sundays (8:30am-8:30pm).
