Leamington Transit is the transit system serving the Municipality of Leamington, Ontario and is the southernmost transit system in Canada. It operates one route year round from 7AM to 7PM. Operation is contracted to C.A. Bailey Ltd.

Routes

Until June 1, 2012, Leamington Transit operated one "Regular Route" which was a large one-way loop of the town. It operated Monday to Saturday from 9AM to 5PM. On Fridays from 5PM to 7PM and on Saturdays from 9AM to 6PM in the months of July and August only, two special routes (Erie/Danforth and Sherk/Erie) would operate from the Marina. The Regular Route would be replaced by these routes on Saturday.

The current Regular Route operates Monday to Saturday from 7AM to 7PM. It is a more direct, linear route with service in both directions for the most part. This route also replaces the special routes that operated from the Marina. See link for map and schedule).
