Getting around Brighton

Bus & other rides

Choose the public bus or a community ride that fits your needs.

Your trip & pickup point

Get to your booked pickup

Brighton buses are booked in advance. Choose your starting place and destination, then ask Quinte Transit for your exact pickup point. Use that confirmed location for walking directions. The published Brighton route map does not supply precise stop coordinates.

Have these trip details ready when you book. Entering them here does not request a ride.

Choose Quinte Transit in the official app and check that your trip is available. If your area is not offered, call dispatch. The app or operator supplies your meeting point and pickup time.

Choose a starting point and enter the confirmed pickup location to open your walking route.

Your entries stay in this page. The GPS preview requests map tiles from OpenStreetMap. Opening the walking route sends your chosen starting point and pickup location to Google Maps.
