What is on-demand transit? On demand transit is a transit service without a fixed schedule or itinerary. It’s a transit service where the busses are scheduled based on the rider demand – and not the other way around! By requesting and booking your rides in advance, the system knows where to go to efficiently meet the demand at each moment in time. Which areas are covered by the on demand transit service? The first phase of on demand transit will only be available along the easterly portion of Town, optimizing the bus service from Route 1, east of Walmart. Route 1 in the ODT coverage zone will continue to use the existing bus stops along River Road East, as well as other new virtual bus stops as highlighted in the Blaise Mobile App. Click here to view a map. Is the service free? Regular transit fares still apply, however it is free to download and book rides with the app!
Yes. The on demand transit service will be available on both weekdays and weekends. Current (fixed) bus schedules, west of Walmart (along Route 1) will continue during their stipulated/fixed times. There are no changes to Route 2. Do I need to book ahead? Yes. In order for the service to work properly and efficiently, transit users must book their trips in advance. You can book your trip up to 7 days in advance and right down to the final 90 minutes before the requested ride time. This will allow enough time to communicate the ride request to the driver. Once booked, the bus will pick up and drop off at the existing stop locations or new virtual stop locations throughout the easterly limits of Town. Again, this service applies to the easterly portion of Route 1 only.
You can book a ride in 3 different ways:
