Pictou County Transit
Pictou County Transit is a Canadian public transport system comprising one bus route in Pictou County, Nova Scotia, which serves the towns of New Glasgow and Stellarton.
History
In early 2020, the provincial government announced an investment of $200,000 toward the establishment of a three-year public transit pilot project serving Stellarton and New Glasgow.[1]
The service launched on 17 May 2021.[2]
The bus route was adjusted in September 2022.[3]
In February 2023, joint government funding of $593,931 was announced for the purchase of two additional buses and the creation of five new bus stops.[4]
In July 2023, Pictou County Transit was approved for additional provincial funding through the Community Transportation Assistance Program.[5]
As of January 2024, Pictou County Transit is aiming to expand their service to the outlying communities of Trenton, Westville and Pictou Landing First Nation in Spring 2024[6]
