Charlottetown Transit is a Canadian public transport agency operating buses in Charlottetown, Prince Edward Island.
Charlottetown Transit was founded in 2005, the 150th anniversary year of the city's incoporation. It is funded by the municipal, provincial and federal levels of government and provides service throughout the city's neighbourhoods.
The name "Charlottetown Transit" is merely a marketing name and is not a legally incorporated company. All buses are owned by the City of Charlottetown but are operated under contract by privately owned Trius Tours Limited.
Most buses are designed to have the appearance of a tram or streetcar and were constructed by Dupont Industries. The buses are smaller than conventional transit bus designs and must be able to navigate the narrower streets and intersections in the city's downtown core.
Current operations have 7 bus routes running from Monday to Saturday as follows:
- University Avenue
- North River Road/West Royalty
- St. Peter's Road/Parkdale-Sherwood
- Kensington Road/Hillsborough Park
- Malpeque Road/Winsloe
- Belvedere Avenue/Parkdale-Sherwood
- Riverside Drive/East Royalty
