Fort Erie Transit was a public transit operator in Fort Erie, Ontario, Canada.
The Town of Fort Erie start providing public transit service since 1977. On January 1, 2023, it was merged with St. Catharines Transit, Welland Transit, and Niagara Falls Transit to form Niagara Region Transit.[1] Public transit is 100% accessible and meets Accessibility for Ontarians with Disabilities (AODA) legislation and standards. TOK Transit (originally Can-ar Coach Service) has operated Fort Erie Transit since 2012.[2]
Regular operation consists of three routes served by three buses, running approximately (in each direction along headways) once every two hours. The routes serve Fort Erie, Crystal Beach, Ridgeway, Stevensville and Black Creek and many neighbourhoods and areas in between.
Fort Erie Accessible Specialized Transit (FAST) provides transportation for those unable to walk 175 metres or board a regular Fort Erie Transit bus. The FAST service is operated by the Canadian Red Cross Niagara on behalf of the Town of Fort Erie.
This service is for eligible residents of Niagara Region who need to travel between municipalities for medical appointments, employment or education purposes.
As of September 2, 2008, Niagara Transit started operating service from Niagara Falls into Fort Erie, connecting with the Fort Erie Transit bus at the Municipal HUB at 3 Municipal Centre Drive, Fort Erie.
Private intercity coach services are primarily operated by Coach Canada with connections to St. Catharines and Toronto. The terminus is located at Robo Mart, 21 Princess Street at Waterloo Street.
