Power Airport. Over the past few years, after a decade of decline, Timmins Transit has experienced some of the fastest ridership growth in the country.[2] ServicesScheduled routesMost of the regularly scheduled routes, like many small cities, connect at the centrally located transit terminal transfer point.[3] Daytime & Saturday service5 Westmount 9 Schumacher 16 South Porcupine/Porcupine 31 Howard/Brousseau 32 Lee/Rea South 36 Porcupine Community 37 Riverside-Melrose: service to The Home Depot via Riverside;return via Park Ave & Melrose 38 Melrose-Riverside: service to the Home Depot via Melrose and Park ave; return via Riverside Evening & Sunday service6 Riverside 7 Park Avenue 901 Porcupine East-West 902 Timmins North-South Handy-TransitService is provided by fully accessible minibus for those with disabilities who cannot use the regular bus transit service.

HistoryCommuter bus services in the Timmins area were operated by John Dalton from about 1926. Another early company, Hamilton and Dwyer, operated an hourly service from Timmins to Schumacher with a fleet of two buses. [5] The ancestry of those enterprises is carried on today under the banner of Schumacher Bus Lines Ltd, operating out of the Dwyer building on First Avenue, with school bus and bus charter services, and Dalton's Bus Line Ltd, on Dalton Road, providing similar services. Timmins, in 1975, was the last of Northern Ontario's five major cities to get public transit, which previously had been a privately run service subsidized by the city.[6] Other bus linesThe city is also served by several private companies, providing school, charter and intercity bus services.[7]
