Southern Ontario Transit (SOT) was a public transit system in Ontario, Canada that connected communities in Haldimand County to Hamilton in Southern Ontario.
Route
It operated a single route, the 100, which connected Downtown Hamilton, passing through Mount Hope and the airport, Caledonia, Hagersville, Cayuga, then to Dunnville, where it terminated.[1]
Fares
A one-way intercity fare was $10 cash, $11 e-pay, with local fares set at half that price.[2]
History
Operation began on the 16th of September, 2024, with weekday service with three round trips per day using a 10-seater van.[3]
Southern Ontario Transit was founded by Rae Rivard and his wife, but due to both financial and low ridership, the agency was forced to permanently suspend its only route.[4]
The route was suspended on the 16th of December 2024, with it only running for three months after launch before ending.[5]
