Barrie Transit ON Demand is here. Download the app. Book your ride. Get moving now!
Barrie Transit ON Demand is a new way to provide transit service in Barrie. This pilot project offers on demand, shared-ride transportation intended to connect people along Barrie Transit bus route #11 – from Huronia Rd. and Lockhart Rd. to Bayview Dr. and Little Ave.
Transit ON Demand is a transit service without a fixed schedule where buses only make stops upon request via a mobile app. Riders simply select a time for their ride and their start location. 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 in the app.
Benefits to Transit ON Demand include:
- On demand trip booking up to 7 days in advance
- Shorter pick-up windows
- Faster trips as stops only occur as requested
- More efficient service

- Provide rider information (number of riders, adult/youth, wheelchair, etc.)
- Select your payment option: pass, ticket, transfer or pay in the app with a credit card
