Aurora Transit operated public transit within the town of Aurora, Ontario, Canada, from 1973 to 1999. From 1999 to 2001, transit service in Aurora was operated by Newmarket Transit.[1][additional citation(s) needed] Service in the town is now provided by the current York Region Transit system.

Aurora GO Station was the only dedicated transit facility used by Aurora Transit.[citation needed] Aurora Transit was considered an "informal-formal" bus line – one of the few municipally owned lines allowing riders to flag down the bus between stops.[2]
