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.[1]Richmond Hill Transit services were limited due to the size of the town when compared to transit operations in nearby Markham, Ontario and Vaughan, Ontario. RoutesRichmond Hill's routes were similar to Vaughan Transit as they did not run in a grid like direction: - 1A Mill Pond
- 1C Beverly Acres
- 2 Newkirk
- 3 Trench
- 4A/C Oak Ridges
- 5 16th Avenue
- 6 Weldrick
- 7 Major Mackenzie
- 8 Bathurst
When Richmond Hill Transit merged with other transit systems to form York Region Transit, an "8" was added to all of then-Richmond Hill's route numbers to avoid having duplicate bus route number with other transit systems (e.g. 1A Mill Street becomes 81A Mill Street). This numbering system stands after the merge. Fleet- Total buses: 26
