The Ultimate Transit Relay (UTR) is a Transit Relay whose route attempts to cross every single sovereign state in the world (including stops in each capital as well as several highlights of each region) using public transit—buses, trains, trams, metros, ferries, and the occasional airplane.

The Transit Relay's route begins in Toronto on a Sunday morning at 7:00 AM. The inaugural leg sees SMW and his team ride a VIA Rail Canada train to the capital Ottawa before riding local buses to the airport, where they will board a flight to Newfoundland and Labrador's provincial capital of St. John's. From there, the team will hand off the baton to the first of many teams that will take the baton across all ten of Canada's provinces. It will eventually arrive at British Columbia's provincial capital of Victoria, located on Vancouver Island.

-The Transit Relay's route begins in [[Toronto]] on a Sunday morning at 7:00 AM. The inaugural leg sees [[User:SGuySMW|SMW]] and his team ride a [[Union Pearson Express]] train to [[Toronto Pearson International Airport]], where they will board [[Porter Airlines]] flight 441, operated by an [[Embraer 195]], to [[British Columbia]]'s provincial capital of [[Victoria, British Columbia|Victoria]]. Following the first exchange of the baton, teams will cross all ten of Canada's provinces before ending up at the easternmost tip of [[Newfoundland and Labrador]] at its provincial capital of [[St. John's, Newfoundland and Labrador|St. John's]]. SMW doesn't really like waking up way too early so he'll have to book a hotel at Toronto for the night before.

-Initially, Day 2's route was to go from the Butchart Gardens to Tofino, but scheduling limitations saw it as a good opportunity for the UTR to slowly warm things up instead of going full throttle right off the bat.
