Wasaga Beach Transit is a transit agency serving the community of Wasaga Beach in Ontario, coordinated with Sinton-Landmark.

History

It commenced operations on July 7, 2008 with a week of free rides. The service utilized a van, until an 18-seat wheelchair accessible bus was ordered. The service was contracted by Georgian Shores Transportation which owned the buses until the town acquired the three accessible buses in 2014. The contract was changed in the Summer of 2014 to Sinton-Landmark Bus Lines.

When the service was introduced, the town of Wasaga Beach created a contest to help design the logo for the transit service. A logo depicting a sun and a wave with the slogan 'Ride the Wave' was introduced as the contest winner.
