History

Transit service in Pickering began with the Bay Ridges Dial-A-Bus, which ran from July 1970 to January 1973 as a demonstration project conducted by the Government of Ontario. Local GO fixed route supplementary service was introduced in February 1972.

Transit service was taken over by the municipality with the creation of Pickering Transit in 1973.

Pickering Transit and Ajax Transit were merged on September 4, 2001 to form the Ajax Pickering Transit Authority. APTA was itself merged into Durham Region Transit on January 1, 2006. DRT's Pickering operations remain heavily based on those operated by Pickering Transit.
