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 Ford/Overland ELF minibuses, one Blue Bird Ultra LF and an Orion V
purchased from Orlando LYNX. 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.
