Wasaga Beach Transit
Wasaga Beach Transit is a public transportation system for the resort town of Wasaga Beach, Ontario, Canada. Using municipally-owned minibuses, it was originally operated by Georgian Coach Lines from 2008 to 2014 and then contracted to Sinton-Landmark.[1] Service expanded from one route which was started in July, 2008 to two in the summer of 2009, because the bus system grew faster than anyone expected.[2] On November 21, 2016, Wasaga Beach Transit got a connection with the new Clearview Public Transit, which runs to the nearby community of Stayner,[3] and on August 6, 2019, the service also received a connection with the also-new Simcoe County LINX system. The latter change replaced the old Collingwood-Wasaga Link bus running between Wasaga Beach and Collingwood,[4] and also provides transit service to the City of Barrie.[5]
Services for Wasaga Beach Transit operate in a loop from the old Wasaga Stars Arena to 70th Street every hour from 7 AM to 9 PM, running eastbound and westbound.[6] On November 6, 2023, the portion of Route 1 between Walmart and Archer Road was changed to an on-demand service format, with booking required in advance.[7]
When the service was introduced in 2008, the Town of Wasaga Beach held a contest to help design the logo for the transit system. A logo depicting a sun and a wave with the slogan 'Ride the Wave' was chosen as the contest winner.
In 2024, for the Town of Wasaga Beach's 50th anniversary, a new permanent decor consisting of beach-themed wraps and (during the summer months) roof-mounted surfboards, was first applied to buses #146 and #147.
