Transit

Amherstburg's public transit service is in partnership with Transit Windsor.

The mission is to provide safe, reliable and affordable public transit for the community through continuous improvement in customer care, environmental stewardship and employee excellence.

The route operating between Windsor and Amherstburg is Amherstburg Route 605

To help you with bus options, Transit Windsor provides Route Maps & Schedules for their service throughout the region. Your bus fare includes the ability to transfer buses.


 

Bike racks combine the flexibility of cycling with the speed and long-haul ability of transit. 

All Transit Windsor buses are accessible with ramps and low floors. Buses can accommodate up two (2) wheelchairs at a time. When both wheelchair spaces are in use, or if the bus is full, the driver cannot board another wheelchair. Oncoming passengers in a wheelchair will have to wait for the next bus.
