Amherstview to Kingston bus service - Route 10

Loyalist Township under contract to Kingston Transit, provides a bus service from Amherstview to Kingston via Route 10.

This route runs to the Cataraqui Centre via Collins Bay and the Bayridge Centre. You can connect with Express Routes 501 and 502 at both the Cataraqui and Bayridge Centres.

Please refer to the Kingston Transit schedules for up to date schedules as these are subject to change.

  • Route maps and schedules
  • Fares and passes

Can the service hours be expanded, or the routes altered?

The Transit Service Agreement with the City of Kingston only allows for change in September of each year. Requests for change must be delivered in writing to the City of Kingston by May 31 of the same year.

Why is this service only offered to Amherstview residents?

 If you live in Amherstview, you pay an extra tax levy to partially fund this transit service.

New - Public Transit Survey

An effective public transit system can be an important component of a connected, livable, and sustainable community. Loyalist Township Council identified improving the public transportation system as a key objective in the 2019 Strategic Plan and has committed to review, assess, and suggest enhancements to the transit system which could benefit the Loyalist Community. The purpose of this survey is to identify the transportation needs within Loyalist Township and to gather input which will be used to inform future decisions.

Accessible Transit Survey

In 2019, the township surveyed residents to gather ideas and opinions about accessible transit services.

The report and survey results went to Council and partnership discussions will take place in 2020.

Background

Our transit contract with the City of Kingston has provided a public bus service to the Amherstview area for over 30 years. Provincial legislation requires that municipalities who provide transit service must also make some provision for accessible transportation in the transit area such as a specialized transit service or an alternative such as accessible taxis.

We do not operate a specialized transit service so we must offer an alternative, to comply with the legislation. Amherstview residents with disabilities who cannot use the conventional bus services can use one of the six accessible taxis that provide accessible service. This service is door-to-door and is available on a first come first served basis.

The Kingston buses that serve Route 10 in Amherstview are considered accessible:

  • low floors and kneeling capability
  • ramps or lifts which can be lowered to allow the loading of wheelchairs and scooters
  • space to secure two mobility aids.
  • on-board announcement system for next bus stop
  • electronic LED display with upcoming bus stop
