Brandon, MB – Brandon Transit is excited to announce that Transit On-Demand is coming to a bus stop near you! This one-year pilot project will improve the connectivity of our entire city and will provide a more convenient option for passengers. It will also reduce wait times, expand the Transit coverage across the city, and improve service during off peak hours.
Transit On-Demand is public transit without a fixed route or schedule. Rides can be booked through the Blaise Transit App* or online at ride.blaisetransit.com. Passengers will need to plan their trip in advance, at least 30 minutes before their departure time. Trips can be booked up to seven days in advance. Once booked, the bus will pick up and drop off at pre-set locations throughout the city.
Starting November 1, 2021, Transit On-Demand will run the following times:
In addition to the on-demand service, new virtual stops will be added on the Blaise app. Virtual stops will not have physical signs posted in those locations. Transit On-Demand will also be extended into areas that have not been serviced by transit such as West McDonald Avenue, the North hill, the south end, as well as the Brookwood and Waverly Park areas. This type of service allows for easier expansion into future development areas utilizing new virtual stops.
Conventional Transit will continue to run fixed routes during the following times:
Brandon Access Transit service will remain unchanged.
There is no additional cost to take an on-demand trip; use regular transit fare cash or a smart card to board the bus for the ride. To learn more about Transit On-Demand, visit brandontransit.ca/ondemand.
