The City of Barrie’s Transit ON Demand service is a transit service that does not have a fixed schedule or route. The buses in this Transit ON Demand service allow users to travel throughout their zone from bus stop to bus stop, or to a connection stop to further their travel across this city on a fixed bus route. Riders can book through this app, a web portal or over the phone. When using this app riders simply select a time for their ride and their start and end locations, desired time or date, and book! The app will let riders know when to expect a ride, where to wait and when they will reach their destination. Trips can be booked up to 7 days in advance with payment made on the buses or through the city’s mobile payment app.
Benefits to Transit ON Demand include:
- On demand trip booking up to 7 days in advance
- Shorter pick-up windows
- More direct trips to local amenities
- More efficient service
