Milton, ON enhances public transportation options with Milton Transit OnDemand pilot
Commuters in target areas request shuttle buses six days a week by app or phone. OnDemand riders travel within their pilot zones or request connections to existing bus lines. Local officials began the pilot by serving accessible transit users in the Boyne neighborhood. This area was selected due to a concentration of residences and a lack of fixed-route transit. Milton Transit will expand the pilot to an industrial service area in September 2021.
