The County of Simcoe’s LINX Transit service is celebrating the achievement of carrying its 1 millionth rider since the service started in 2018.                          

“LINX Transit is an incredibly important part of our region, and witnessing its growth since it launched in 2018 has been great to see,” said Simcoe County Warden Basil Clarke.

“LINX Transit helps connect our communities, offering our residents affordable, reliable and environmentally friendly transportation options that connect them to some of the major hubs of our region.”     

The ridership shows the growth that LINX Transit has experienced, as the service celebrated its 500,000th rider just under two years ago in 2022.                                            

“This achievement highlights our success and promises even better things to come for transit users,” said Dennis Childs, Transit Manager at the County of Simcoe. “It indicates that we’re on the right path toward further growth and improvement in the County of Simcoe. We’re continuing to explore and research new routes and expansions that can be added to make LINX Transit even more accessible across our region.”

LINX Transit began operations in 2018, linking residents to major urban hubs through the County of Simcoe. 

Six routes currently run across the county including Route 1 from Penetanguishene/Midland to Barrie, Route 2 from Wasaga Beach to Barrie, Route 3 from Orillia to Barrie, Route 4 from Collingwood to Wasaga Beach, Route 5 from New Tecumseth to Bradford West Gwillimbury and Route 6 from Midland to Orillia.
