In the interest of the public and the transit drivers, due to the COVID-19 pandemic, Owen Sound Transit will be limiting the number of riders on any bus at any time to 6 passengers to maintain physical distancing. This may result in riders needing to prepare alternative transportation arrangements or to be flexible with boarding times. Designated seating is placed on each bus for riders to maintain physical distancing. Riders will be treated on a first come, first served basis. This will be effective as of Friday, April 24, 2020.

Service for both Conventional and Mobility Transit will continue to operate on the regular schedules with the additional following safety precautions implemented to protect both staff and members of the public;

- Those who are feeling unwell are asked to not board any City buses.

- Riders shall practice physical distancing and follow the new seating arrangement on the bus.

- Heightened sanitization practices will continue on Transit vehicles.

City staff are available to provide assistance with the City Transit at (519) 376-9139 or email at [email protected].
