Bus service is provided on two routes which meet every hour at the Northumberland Mall and the Rotary Waterfront Park bus terminal As a result of each route being operated by a single bus at a time, bus stops are labelled by the minute of the hour the bus is scheduled to arrive.[3] These regular routes operate Monday to Friday from 6:15 am to 7:45 pm, Saturdays from 8:15 am to 6:45pm and Sundays from 8:45 am to 3:45 pm. There is also an inter-municipal shuttle service to Port Hope, which connects at the mall or Northumberland Hills Hospital with Port Hope Transit.[4]
Cobourg Transit also offers a specialised service called WHEELS to let people who cannot use conventional transit still get around the town.
During the COVID-19 pandemic, the buses were outfitted with signage to indicate appropriate distancing, and only accept coins like toonies for physical payment.
