Starting today, Barrie Transit is launching a new application that will allow riders to request a trip on demand for one route in the city — from Huronia and Lockhart roads to Bayview Drive and Little Avenue.
Transit On Demand has no schedule or fixed route and the year-long pilot program will be assessed based on rider satisfaction to see if it will continue.
To use the app, riders select the start and end locations of their trip, as well as a departure time based on availability. The app notifies riders when their bus will arrive and how long it will take until they reach their destination.
Officials say trips can be booked up to seven days in advance, with no limits on the number of bookings per day.
