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

How it works:

- Download the free “Barrie Transit ON Demand” app from your app store
- Enter your starting point and destination (these areas are highlighted in the app)
- Select the date and time you want to ride up to 7 days in advance
- 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
- The app lets you know when to expect your ride and where to wait

Ratings and reviews

A great app for getting from here to there from 7-5:30 M-F. Looking forward to the service being extended so that users outside of traditional hours can get around safely regardless of the time. Very grateful this program exists. I had used the prior route and this--when understood by the user--is a much better experience. Needs more hours and area coverage though.

Limited area, doesn't even cover the entire area of Barrie, might as well make a pay app for the regular bus, this is a waste of an app that could have more potential.

It doesn't give me any bus routes. Every time i try and look one up it says there are no busses. It better to just use google maps.
