Burlington Transit is the public transport provider in the city of Burlington, Ontario, Canada. Services began in September 1975, after the city had been served by neighbouring systems including Hamilton Street Railway (H.S.R), and former subsidiary Canada Coach Lines, as well as "local" services to and from Toronto once provided by Gray Coach Lines and GO Transit along Lakeshore Road (Highway 2).
Burlington Transit is a member of the Canadian Urban Transit Association.
It connects with Hamilton Street Railway on the south and west and Oakville Transit on the east. In addition, the Appleby, Burlington, and Aldershot GO Transit stations on the Lakeshore West line are also connected. The Bus Terminal, located in downtown at 430 John Street, close to Lakeshore Road (Highway 2), is the main bus terminal, and the Greyhound Canada bus stop in Burlington. The transit yard and administration centre is situated at 3332 Harvester Road

Famous quotes containing the word transit:
“We only seem to learn from Life that Life doesn’t matter so much as it seemed to do—it’s not so burningly important, after all, what happens. We crawl, like blinking sea-creatures, out of the Ocean onto a spur of rock, we creep over the promontory bewildered and dazzled and hurting ourselves, then we drop in the ocean on the other side: and the little transit doesn’t matter so much.”
—D.H. (David Herbert)
