History of Transit in Timmins:

Dalton Bus Lines (? - circa August 1960) John Dalton was operating commuter bus services in the Timmins area at least as early as 1926.

Another Timmins area operator, Hamilton and Dwyer operated an hourly service from Timmins to Schumacher with a fleet of two buses, for a 10¢ fare or 3 tickets for 25¢ (CR&MW ibid). (TJ41 lists Dalton Taxi and Bus Line buying a bus.) Tickets from 1950 carried the name Dalton & Dwyer Bus Line (RS).
