The Orangeville Transit System provides local bus service to the Town of Orangeville in central Ontario, Canada. Approval was given by the town council, on April 28, 2008, that the current contract with First Student Canada (formerly Laidlaw) to operate and maintain the transit buses, should be extended for another year.[1] The Public Works Department administers the contract and is responsible for other non-operational functions. Town of Orangeville transit buses are all fully accessible, although less accessible First Student buses sometimes substitute.
Fares
Cash fare is $2.00 for adults or $1.50 for seniors & students, with monthly passes costing $35.00 or $25.00 respectively. Children under 5 ride for free.

GO Transit
GO Transit reached an agreement with Orangeville and the Orangeville Railway Development Corporation to construct a park & ride lot at the railway station with operation starting circa June 2008. During the week there were then six GO Bus trips in each direction.[4] Orangeville Transit offered free connecting rides for GO Transit passengers holding a valid ticket or pass.
