Cornwall Transit
Formerly Cornwall Street Railway Light & Power Company

Cornwall has had public transit since 1896 when the Cornwall Electric Street Railway Company began operations. Electric streetcar operation was provided until 1949 when trolleybuses took over. Trolleybuses ran until May 31, 1970. Cornwall was the smallest city in Canada to operate trolleybuses.
Service today is provided by a fleet of Classic's, Orion V's and cut-aways.
