Leamington-to-Windsor Transit will resume service

LEAMINGTON — With the reopening of Ontario’s economy in Stage 3, and in conjunction with the start of the school year, the Leamington to Windsor (LTW) Transit will resume service on September 8, 2020.

The LTW Transit service, which travels from Leamington to Windsor with stops in Kingsville and Essex was suspended in March due to the COVID-19 pandemic. The LTW Transit is set to return to full service of three round trips per day, Monday to Friday and two round trips on Saturday.

“Resuming the LTW Transit service will allow more people to access education, employment and other essential supports like health care in neighbouring communities,” said Mayor Hilda MacDonald. “We are confident that this much needed service can resume with safety measures and protocols in place for the protection of riders and drivers.”

Fares will not be collected at this time but are expected to resume in the near future. All passengers are asked to enter and exit the bus through the rear doors. Riders with accessibility needs may continue to use the front doors, and one wheelchair passenger at a time may occupy this area.
