Welland Transit provides public transport services in Welland and Port Colborne, Ontario, Canada. Upon its inception in 1973 the bus service was operated by a private company, known as "Metro Niagara Transit," funded by the city of Welland, which assumed full operation of the transit system in 1977. Eight scheduled routes provide Monday to Sunday daytime service with staggered services during off-peak times and evening service. Weekday service is provided on three routes to destinations outside the city to Port Colborne, Niagara Falls, and St. Catharines, under Niagara Region Transit. Additionally, Welland Transit operates two community shuttles for the city of Port Colborne. For outlying areas of the city not on current transit routes, a service called Trans-Cab offers taxi connections to the conventional bus service for a small additional fee. Accessible services for people unable to make use of regular buses are available within the city or across the region.
