Description

Description (Service)

On-Demand Transit is a shared-ride public transit service without a fixed schedule or route. The bus travel is optimized by computer software, and it is based upon rider trip requests on a first come first served basis.

  • Trips can be requested in advance (1 week) or same day.

  • Bookings can be made by downloading the Cobourg Transit App or by calling a live agent on the booking line

  • Hourly Service: Buses will run every hour providing consistent and dependable service. Bus schedule and signage will indicate how many minutes past the hour the bus is scheduled to arrive.

The Town of Cobourg's Limited Fixed Route Bus System pilot began in September 2024. The fixed route service features 35 strategically located stops throughout the Town and will operate on an hourly schedule, starting on Tuesday, September 3, 2024.

The Limited Fixed Route Bus System is a one-year trial, operating in addition to the current On-Demand bus system, offering more flexibility and convenience for Cobourg residents.

35 Well-Placed Stops: The new route covers the highest demand and popular locations, ensuring comprehensive coverage of the town. The new fixed route is a combination of the previous Route 1 and Route 2 loops offering service from the East end of Cobourg to the West end and areas in between.
