Book your Trip Online

You can also book your trip by downloading the Ride On-Demand mobile app for Apple devices. There are currently technical issues with the mobile app for Android, which we are working to resolve as soon as possible.

Preparing for your Trip

Here are some things to remember:

  • Mobility On-Request Paratransit requires a path cleared of snow and ice before the operator performs door-to-door service. The customer should not be making their way to the vehicle until the operator comes to the first accessible door to escort them. This path needs to be wide enough to accommodate the customer and the operator and the path is to be from the first accessible door to the bottom of the driveway
  • Your requested time will have a 45-minute window on one side of your trip, depending on your status. You can get the confirmed time two hours before your ride by calling 1-866-744-1119. Ask the Trip Reservationist about the dial-out feature

  • Please be ready 10 minutes before your confirmed pick-up time. If you are not going to be ready for your scheduled trip, please cancel and rebook at a time when you are ready

  • If you are booking a ride to a medical appointment, please ask the Trip Reservationist to book you a will call for your return trip. When you are finished at your appointment and ready to be picked up, you can call the Traveller’s Hotline at 1-877-660-7587 for a pick up
  • Ensure you can safely manage carry-on items onto the vehicle. There is a maximum four bag limit to ensure there is room in the vehicle

  • Please meet the Paratransit vehicle at the first accessible entrance 10 minutes before your pick-up time

  • Ensure you have your Mobility On-Request Paratransit ID card with you at all times

Cancelling your Trip

You may cancel your booked trip through the Interactive Voice Response (IVR) system or with a Trip Reservationist by calling 1-866-744-1119.

Ensure you cancel your trip at least two hours before travelling. If your scheduled trip is cancelled at the door or you are a no-show at the time of your pick up, your return trip will be cancelled.

Please review our cancellation policy below.
