Port Colborne Transit
The City of Port Colborne has contracted with Welland Transit to operate their transit system effective March 31, 2008.
In 2013, the Community Bus East Route was changed to include a stop at the Vale Health and Wellness Centre and the West Route changed to accommodate service close to Food Basics.
Port Colborne's transit service is comprised of a local community bus which operates within Port Colborne from 7 am - 6 pm Monday to Friday. The link service to Welland provides 6 trips, Monday to Saturday, between the two communities.
The link service, which started in October 2007, has been enhanced to include stops at the Seaway Mall and the Welland Transit Terminal. Another enhancement to the service is a revamped fare structure that will allow riders to use Welland Transit Econo and Monthly passes for both systems. This will make for a more seamless system that will encourage ridership, provide for more affordable access to employment in both communities and help both cities with their commitment to help the environment. The addition of Regional Transit has enabled the City and Region to increase the service from 3 trips to 6 trips, Monday to Saturday.
The Port Colborne Community bus and the link service will operate 12 months per year, excluding Sundays and Statutory Holidays.
Econopasses can be purchased at the Seaway Mall, Welland Transit and City Hall, Port Colborne.
