York Region owns the buses. We keep them running.

Under a long-term contract with the Regional Municipality of York, Miller Transit supplies everything it takes to run the service: drivers, dispatchers, route inspectors, mechanics and the garage itself.

The Region sets the routes, schedules and fares. We operate them to the Region’s standards, 7 days a week, 365 days a year.
