'''Pickering Transit''' was a Canadian public transit operator in the City of Pickering, Ontario.

==History==
Transit service in Pickering began with the Bay Ridges Dial-A-Bus, which ran from July 1970 to January 1973 as a demonstration project conducted by the Government of [[Ontario]].  Local GO fixed route supplementary service was introduced in February 1972.
