CK Transit (branded as Ride CK) provides the conventional bus transportation in Chatham-Kent, Ontario, Canada.
There are five local bus routes within the urban boundaries of the old City of Chatham. Routes 1 through 4 provide services every 30 minutes Monday through Saturday, while route 5 runs on a 45-minute basis. For rail passengers, bus route 3 stops nearest Via Rail Chatham station, at the intersection of Park Avenue West and Pine Street.[1]
CK Transit also provides bus service to outlying communities in Chatham-Kent. In October 2007, Route A, linking Chatham, Wallaceburg and Dresden, with four trips Monday through Saturday, was introduced.[2]
Interurban service was expanded to include Route D, linking Chatham to Tilbury and Wheatley in January 2009, and Route C, serving Blenheim and Ridgetown in January 2010.[3] [4]
All urban and inter-urban routes stop at the Downtown Transfer Terminal at 100 Wellington Street West in Chatham.
Chatham Specialized Transit Service is a personalized curb-to-curb transportation service for persons who are unable to board the Chatham Conventional public transit system.[5]
In March 2020, CK Transit launched a pilot project in which it offers on-demand transit in the urban area. A dedicated app for this service was launched in December 2021.[6] As of 2024, CK OnRequest is offered on evenings and Sundays in Chatham and all week in Wallaceburg.[7]
