Encyclopedia
St. Thomas Transit Services include both conventional city transit buses and paratransit vehicles owned by the City of St. Thomas

Private companies have provided a variety of transportation services to the city since the introduction of horse drawn street railways in 1879, which were subsequently electrified and ultimately replaced by buses about 1927. Although the city assumed responsibility for transit in the mid 1960s, these bus services have always been privately operated.
The bus terminal, located downtown at 614 Talbot Street, is also the bus depot for Greyhound and for Aboutown's Northlink private bus service to London
and Owen Sound.
