Greater Sudbury Transit Page

Transit in and around Sudbury is provided by Greater Sudbury Transit, which was formed in 2000 by combining the existing Sudbury bus service with the surrounding commuter bus lines. Thus, Greater Sudbury Transit has an enormous service area for its fleet, connecting Sudbury with the outlying communities of Capreol, Chelmsford, Copper Cliff and Falconbridge, while providing trans-cab service to Long Lake, Whitefish and Wahnapitae. There are 42 buses in the fleet, which consists of MCI Classic, Orion I and V, NovaBus LFS, and New Flyer D40LF buses. All routes except the trans-cabs meet at the Transit Centre in downtown Sudbury, and service is provided seven days a week from about 7 AM until midnight, with a special schedule for late evenings and Sundays.
