FAQs

  • How do I use the transit service?
    We use a colour coded system along with a numbering system for easier use with the schedules. Schedules have all departing and arriving times at many locations along all routes. The route of the bus follows left to right for times and locations. For more information on the schedules please see the Schedule section of this website. T3 Transit operates Monday to Saturday throughout the Charlottetown area and offers reduced service on Sunday. T3 Transit also travels to Cornwall and Stratford locations from Monday to Friday.
  • How much does it cost to take the bus?
    We offer single trip cash fares, tickets and monthly passes. Please have exact change for single trips, as our drivers cannot make change. Frequent users can save money by purchasing monthly passes or books of tickets. Visit our Fares page for detailed pricing.
  • Am I able to take multiple buses to get to my destination as part of a single fare?
    Yes! Simply request a transfer from the driver when boarding the bus. Transfers allow all passengers to complete a one-way trip without paying an additional fare and can be used on Charlottetown, Stratford, and Cornwall buses. Transfers are used for the next available bus, but not for stop-overs. Transfers are the passenger’s responsibility and no other transfer will be issued.
  • Where can I board the bus?
    In addition to the stops listed on our schedules, for passenger convenience, all “Stop Signs” and posted “Bus Signs” along the designated route are considered additional flag stops.
