Orillia Transit is operated by First Student Canada (formerly Laidlaw School Transit) under contract to the City of Orillia in central Ontario, Canada. First Student Canada provides drivers, maintains the vehicles and supplies fuel. Service is provided on four routes throughout the city every day except Sundays and statutory holidays, and one weekday special industrial area service. All of these routes run on loops which depart and end at the downtown bus terminal on Peter Street at Mississauga Street.
Orillia has had transit service since the 1950s when a private operator, Orillia Transportation Company, started to provide local bus service to the city. Responsibility for the service was assumed by the City in 1975 and in 1978 a specialized transit service for persons with disabilities was introduced.

Famous quotes containing the word transit:
“My esoteric doctrine, is that if you entertain any doubt, it is safest to take the unpopular side in the first instance. Transit from the unpopular, is easy ... but from the popular to the unpopular is so steep and rugged that it is impossible to maintain it.”
—William Lamb Melbourne, 2nd Viscount (1779–1848)
