Tecumseh Transit provides a public transportation service for Tecumseh, Ontario, a suburb of the city of Windsor. Launched in 2009, the service is municipally owned but operated under contract by First Student Canada. After a successful 6 month pilot project, the service became permanent in August 2010.

The single transit line operates in a loop, making 37 stops at one-hour headways between 6AM and 6PM on Monday-Saturday. Connections can also be made with Transit Windsor at the Tecumseh Mall.

History

[edit]

In 1986, Tecumseh had transit service from January to June of that year. As a 6-month trial, it had failed due to low ridership. The bus used was ex-GO Transit #1505, an Ontario Bus Industries Orion I bus then owned and operated by Chatham Coach Lines.[citation needed] as #193.[1]

In March 2022, the town implemented an on-demand transit service to replace its fixed-route services. The new service uses software to create routes based on rider requests.[2]
