The Town of Cobourg would like to advise citizens that as of Saturday, April 18, 2020 the hours of Conventional and WHEELS Transit buses will be reduced to further protect drivers and riders from being unnecessarily exposed to COVID-19.

Public Notice: Town Waves Public Transit and Makes Changes During COVID-19

The Town of Cobourg would like to inform citizens that effective tomorrow all public transit will be free until May 31st in an effort to help stop the spread of COVID-19 by reducing interaction with drivers, other transit commuters and the passing of change and tickets. 

The Town of Cobourg would like to remind citizens to only use public transit if absolutely necessary (medical appointments, groceries, pharmacy visits, etc.) as the entire community practices social distancing in an effort to stop the spread of COVID-19.

If you must use public transit please keep in mind the following important preventative measures: 

• Limit of eight (8) people maximum per bus to allow for sufficient social distancing.
• Passengers must sit at least two (2) meters away from others, including the driver.
• Riders must have a destination drop-off within one (1) hour that is not the location they got on the bus.
• The windows on the bus will be kept open to promote air circulation.
