Kingston Transit operates the transit service in Kingston, Ontario, Canada as well as to the neighbouring community of Amherstview, in Loyalist Township.

The Kingston Public Transit System began service on 1 July 1962, when the city's Public Utilities Commission took over the operation of transit service from Kingston City Coach, a subsidiary of Colonial Coach Lines. The Kingston Transit name was adopted in 1975.

Kingston Transit offers service to all three schools of higher education in the region: Queen's University, St. Lawrence College, and RMC.

It also offers service to the Coach Canada bus terminal and the VIA train station.

Major transfer points are at the Kingston Centre, [ [http://www.cityofkingston.ca/cityhall/press/release.asp?mode=show&id=1544 Kingston Centre Transit Terminal Opens] ] Downtown Kingston (at the corner of Bagot and Brock streets), Cataraqui Town Centre, and Gardiners Town Centre.
