Oakville Transit
Oakville Transit is the public transportation provider in Oakville, Ontario, Canada since 1972. It is a department of the town and a member of the Canadian Urban Transit Association. It offers the typical conventional bus service, a para-transit service called care-A-van, and an on-demand service called Home to Hub for residents in North and Southeast Oakville.
