Mission Statement:

To provide, in a safe and courteous manner, a reliable, efficient, transit service for persons having impaired mobility.

It is necessary to register in order to use the service. For an application form, please call our office at 613-542-2512, or obtain electronically by clicking REGISTER ONLINE.

Cost of Service:

$2.25 each way. Companions (one per passenger only) may travel for the same fare. Bus tickets are available in books of ten for ($22.50). Please ask your driver, or call the office at 613-542-2512.

Hours of Service:

Weekdays: from 7:30 am to 11:00 pm - Weekends: from 9:00 am to 11:00 pm.

TIPS on using the Kingston Access Bus:

  • Bookings can be made from 1 hour to 2 weeks in advance.
  • Cancel appointments as soon as you are aware you do not need the booking. Cancellations may be made in the evening with the answering service.
  • No Shows: Please do not allow no shows to occur. This time could be used for someone else needing transportation. A cancellation even one hour before, is better than a no show. Excessive No shows will be charged a fee of $5.00 per occurrence.
  • You will be provided with a "door to door" service, however, please do not ask the drivers to assist you beyond the front door of your destination. Drivers will assist you (in a non-electric wheelchair) up no more than two steps.
  • Drivers may arrive within a "window" of 5 minutes before and 5 minutes after your appointment time. Please be ready to go, within that "window".
  • No smoking on the KAB vehicles.
  • All passengers must wear KAB seat belts.

Finally, from time to time KAB may have more demand than capacity, so we may not be able to accommodate you every time, however we will do the very best that we can.
