By bus
York Region Transit (http://www.yrt.ca) operates the municipal buses in Richmond Hill. Bus service is adequate, although you should check the timetables to make sure you don't waste your time waiting for half an hour. Service along Yonge street and Highway 7, where most of the interesting destinations are, are excellent, and even if you miss your bus, the next one generally comes soon. Stops offering VIVA (http://www.vivayork.com/) bus service have electronic timebords that will give you the arrival times of the next three buses. Since these times are estimated through a GPS connection to each bus, the times are generally accurate.
A ride within Richmond Hill counts as one zone and will cost $3.25. The tickets are time-stamped and valid for two hours. You can also purchase multiple tickets at a discount. Remember to validate your ticket before a ride in the machines by the bus stops. There will be a slot for you to to insert the ticket to be timestamped.
