COVID-19 - Public Transit Free until April 19th

Town Waves Public Transit Fares to Maintain Social Distancing During COVID-19

The Town of Cobourg would like to inform citizens that effective tomorrow all public transit will be free until April 19th 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. Drivers are monitoring the number of customers who board buses to reduce customer loads if necessary, further promoting social distancing. 

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

• Apart from those requiring the accessible ramp at the front door, all passengers are asked to use only the rear doors to board and disembark the buses
• Practice social distancing by keeping a minimum of 2 meters apart from the driver and other riders
• Minimize your interaction with the transit driver and refrain from sitting close to the driver
• All WHEEL riders must ensure their assistive devices are sanitized before boarding the bus
