Lindsay Transit provides bus service to the community of Lindsay, the main population centre in the City of Kawartha Lakes in east-central Ontario, Canada.

There are currently four routes. Red, Orange, Green, and Blue. Buses operate Monday to Saturday between 7:00 am and 10:00 pm, Sundays from 9:00am to 4:00pm, with no service on New Year's Day, Family Day, Good Friday, Victoria Day, Canada Day, August Civic Holiday, Labour Day, Thanksgiving Day and Christmas Day.[1] Like many small systems, the buses run on one way loops to maximize coverage of the service area using the minimum of resources and meet at a downtown terminus.[2] The buses are garaged at the City Works Depot at 89 St. David Street.[3]

History

In c.1950, Lindsay Lines Limited was the first bus service in Lindsay and ran until February 1953, when Lindsay Bus Lines took over Lindsay Lines Limited for unknown reasons. After a few decades, Lindsay Bus Lines stopped running services and Denure Bus Co. helped substitute for transit operations in Lindsay until January, 1970 when the government ran its own bus service named “Algar Coach Lines Ltd.” Lindsay Transit then took over c.1978. It is unknown how many lines were in service until 2004, when there were two lines, Red and Green. In 2008, The Blue Line running from Victoria Avenue at Kent Street to Cambridgeshire Street South at Russell Street was in service. From July 4th, 2011 to November 1st, 2012, bus services started running a one-year pilot project to run long-term or rural services from places like Bobcaygeon, Fenelon Falls, Coboconk, etc. It was cancelled, but has been brought back on June 24th, 2013. It ran until June 27th, 2015 and hasn’t revived since.[4] On February 23rd, 2023, the Orange Line running from Victoria Avenue at Kent Street to Kent Street at Albert Street started running services and posters on bus stops helped promote the new service by using pun-like jokes about oranges.[5]

Routes

The routes run on a loop that runs every hour, starting from Victoria Avenue at Kent Street; the transit hub, where all of the buses running the four routes meet.
