The way home
The ride home from Cascades Casino
A late night at Cascades Casino Chatham always finishes with a trip home, and the floor closes at 2 AM. This page sorts out the Ride CK buses, the car in the free lot and the straight-line distances from the towns around.

The last Ride CK trips
In Chatham, the fixed routes of Ride CK, Chatham-Kent's public transit, operate Monday to Saturday and end at 7:15 PM. Weekday evenings work differently: from 7:15 PM until 12:45 AM, Monday to Friday, trips are OnRequest, meaning they are booked on demand instead of taken from a timetable.
Weekends are much thinner. Saturday has nothing after 7:15 PM, and Sunday offers only OnRequest trips between 9 AM and 5 PM. On public holidays, Ride CK does not run.
No stop is named by the casino for 615 Richmond St, so plan the trip with Ride CK itself. Then there is the clock. The floor stays open until 2 AM every day, so a weekday night that lasts to the close outlives the last OnRequest window at 12:45 AM.
Driving and the free lot
Parking on site at 615 Richmond St costs nothing. Nothing is published about accessible parking, EV charging or room for RVs and buses. If you need any of those, call 226-296-0309 before setting out.
One habit makes the end of the night simpler. Decide who drives home before the first game, not at 2 AM with the keys already in your hand. A Friday close lands early on Saturday, and the drive starts from there.

Questions before you go
Is there a Ride CK bus after midnight on a Tuesday?
Yes, in a limited form. Monday to Friday, OnRequest trips run until 12:45 AM, booked on demand. The fixed routes end earlier, at 7:15 PM.
What about late on a Saturday night?
No Ride CK service runs then. Saturday buses stop at 7:15 PM, so a night that lasts to the 2 AM close needs the ride home planned some other way before you go.
How far is Windsor from the casino?
In a straight line, Windsor is 69 km from the casino on Richmond Street. The road is longer, and this guide gives no driving times.
