The Town of Cobourg is one of smallest communities in Ontario to operate a transit service, with a population of 18,000.   There are four buses in the fleet:  two El Dorado E-Z Rider II MAX buses, one Blue Bird Ultra LF and a Ford E-450 cutaway bus with an Overland body.  Service is provided on two routes meeting every hour at the Northumberland Mall and in front of the Town Hall, and the buses operate from Monday to Saturday until about 7 PM.
