Transit Windsor Updates Go Live August 31, 2025
September marks the start of Transit Windsor’s busiest season, and with the introduction of 20,000 additional service hours, even more residents are expected to choose Transit as their preferred way to get around.
New Bus Passes
To activate a new card, riders must visit the Downtown Windsor International Transit Terminal (WITT) and purchase one in person with government-issued identification (ID). WITT is open Labour Day, Monday, September 1, 2025, from 8 a.m. to 6 p.m. for anyone needing to purchase a new card or renew an existing transit pass.
Planning your Trip and Accessing New Route Information Digitally
Transit Windsor would like to remind riders that on Sunday, August 31, 2025, our updated routes, bus stops, route names, and colour scheme will officially launch across all trip planners, transit apps, and online tools. Because these digital platforms can only support one active route system at a time, the new network will fully replace the current one on that date. Printed copies of the updated Transit Riders Guide are available on all city buses, at the downtown Windsor International Transit Terminal (300 Chatham Street West), and at all Windsor Public Library branches and City of Windsor Customer Care Community Centres.
Leading up to the launch, residents and students are encouraged to explore the interactive map, which offers a comprehensive preview of the new system, including route frequencies, stop locations, and connecting routes.
