Elliot Lake Transit is a public transportation system, which provides daily service on an hourly basis with the exception of Sundays and statutory holidays, within the small isolated city of Elliot Lake in Northern Ontario, Canada

Regular scheduled service operates on four routes using two low-floor handicapped accessible buses, providing a once an hour trip on each route with a transfer point between routes at the Algo Centre Mall. Hours of operation are on Monday to Saturday from 7:00 am to 6:00 pm with extended service on Thursday and Friday evenings till 9:00 pm, and no Sunday or holiday service. Cash fare is $2.25 for adults and $2.00 for seniors and students, with 12 tickets costing $23.00 for everyone. Monthly passes are $60.00 for adults and $50.00 for seniors and students

For residents who are unable to board the regular transit buses, the city provides door to door service with the Handilift bus.
