Burlington Transit
Burlington Transit is the public transport provider in the city of Burlington, Ontario, Canada. Services began in September 1975, after the city had been served by neighbouring systems including Hamilton Street Railway (HSR) and former subsidiary Canada Coach Lines, as well as "local" services to and from Toronto once provided by Gray Coach Lines and GO Transit along Lakeshore Road (Highway 2). Burlington Transit is a member of the Canadian Urban Transit Association. It connects with Hamilton Street Railway to the south and west and Oakville Transit to the east. In addition, the Appleby, Burlington, and Aldershot GO Transit stations on the Lakeshore West line are also connected. The bus terminal, located in downtown at 430 John Street, close to Lakeshore Road (Highway 2), is the main bus terminal. The transit yard and administration centre is situated at 3332 Harvester Road.

Sale of paper tickets to the general public ended on August 31, 2019, and were no longer accepted as payment after December 31, 2019. Fares shown here are effective August 1, 2023. With a Presto card, teenagers aged 13 to 19 ride free from 6pm to end of service on weekdays and all-day on weekends, while children aged 12 and under and seniors aged 65 and older ride fare free all-day everyday. Note that monthly bus passes have been suspended until further notice. Riders paying by cash (or, in some cases, special purpose paper tickets) can request a paper transfer from the bus driver; for riders using Presto cards or credit/debit cards, the transfer is automatically recorded on the card. They are valid for two hours from the time of boarding the first bus and can be used to transfer between Burlington Transit (BT) buses in any direction – as well as to transfer to neighbouring Oakville Transit and Hamilton Street Railway buses – without having to pay another fare. Riders transferring from GO Transit to BT buses receive free admission when they show their valid GO ticket or transit pass to the driver or when swiping the Presto card, credit or debit card. Passengers transferring from BT to GO Transit services will be reimbursed the difference between the BT fare and the co-fare discount upon disembarking GO Transit. Stations, terminals and garages
