Cornwall Transit (also known as TheBus, its fonts similar to Honolulu, Hawaii's), serves the City of Cornwall, Ontario, Canada with 15 buses that transport about 538,833 passengers per year.[2] Founded in 1971 and originally operated under contract by A.J. McDonald Limited the system has been city run since 1974.[3] It provided bus service to replace the Cornwall Street Railway, which had provided tram service since the end of the 19th century.
A comprehensive service review conducted in 2000[4] focused on the needs of three specific groups: students, industrial employees, and seniors. The report, based on one primary principle: transit should directly and conveniently take passengers where they want to go, was approved by council in November 2000, and many of the recommendations were immediately implemented. Several types of service are now provided, including conventional bus routes, community bus, paratransit service, supplementary industry area service and charters.[5]
