CK Transit (branded as Ride CK) provides the conventional bus transportation in Chatham-Kent, Ontario, Canada.

There are five local bus routes within the urban boundaries of the old City of Chatham.[1] Routes 1 through 4 provide services every 30 minutes Monday through Saturday, while route 5 runs on a 45-minute basis. For rail passengers, bus route 3 stops nearest Via Rail Chatham station, at the intersection of Park Avenue West and Pine Street.

CK Transit also provides bus service to outlying communities in Chatham-Kent. In October 2007, Route A, linking Chatham, Wallaceburg and Dresden, with four trips Monday through Saturday, was introduced.[2]

Interurban service was expanded to include Route D, linking Chatham to Tilbury and Wheatley in January 2009, and Route C, serving Blenheim and Ridgetown in January 2010.[3][4]

Chatham Specialized Transit Service is a personalized curb-to-curb transportation service for persons who are unable to board the Chatham Conventional public transit system.[5]
