Richmond Hill Transit

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Richmond Hill Transit was created in 1960 to provide public transit service in Richmond Hill, Ontario, Canada. It was initially operated by Trailways of Canada Limited, then Travelways starting in 1976 and Laidlaw in the 1980s. Services merged with the Markham, Newmarket and Vaughan transit systems to form York Region Transit in 2001.

RT services were limited due to the size of the town compared to Markham, Ontario and Vaughan, Ontario.
