Public transit is an excellent commuting option available to all for an affordable price.  Best of all with full buses and trains, numerous polluting vehicles are taken off the road.  This improves air quality and helps to fight climate change. 

Why not let someone else do the driving while you enjoy a book, listen to music, do work or just get lost in your own thoughts?

With the twin pressures of peak oil and climate change, governments are starting to reinvest in public transit.  For Hamilton this will mean some form of new rapid transit - be it Bus Rapid Transit or Light Rail Transit.

Hamilton is served by several mass transit operators.  These include GO Transit which operates buses and trains into and out of Hamilton and the Hamilton Street Railway (HSR) which operates city buses in Hamilton.  Greyhound and Coach Canada also use the Hamilton GO Centre for their buses.  VIA Rail stops in Aldershot.

Google Maps now provides a public transit option when you 'Get Directions' for travel within Hamilton or just visit the Hamilton Street Railway (HSR) website.
