On Demand Transit buses provide service for select neighbourhoods, seniors’ residences and attractions across Edmonton.
Starting September, On Demand Transit service will be added to Rundle Park (Aquatic and Recreation Centre and Rundle Family Centre) and Enoch Cree First Nation (108 Apartments and River Cree Casino):
Growing ridership for On Demand Transit has resulted in longer wait times in some zones. To help bring down wait times, ETS will be adding 3 additional peak buses and one off peak bus.
Note: Vehicles operate between these hours only. Rides cannot be booked if they would arrive or depart outside of service hours.

Starting June 30, additional On Demand Transit hub options will be added to the Hays Ridge/Graydon Hill/Glenridding Ravine/Keswick and Northwest Police Campus and Goodridge Corners neighbourhoods.
In addition to Century Park and Leger, Heritage Valley Transit Centre will be another hub for riders in the areas of Hays Ridge, Keswick, Glenridding Ravine and Graydon Hill. These additions will help facilitate transfers to Route 727 and other high schools in the area.
In addition to Eaux Claires, Castle Downs Transit Centre will be a new hub for riders in the areas of Northwest Police Campus, Goodridge Corners, Albany, Rapperswill, Canossa, Elsinore and Chambery neighbourhoods. These additions better help connect Northwest Edmonton with additional conventional transit options.
On May 15, a temporary On Demand Transit zone will be added to the Aldergrove area due to construction in the area (189 Street & 87 Avenue). The following stops are being created to take riders to West Edmonton Mall:
On Demand Transit buses to Aldergrove will pick up at Stop 5840 - West Edmonton Mall Transit Centre Bay B.
On-Demand Transit in Uplands, Stillwater and east Edgemont will no longer be available.
A brand new route, Route 926, will provide service from Lewis Farms to Stillwater.
Glenridding On Demand stops will move from Rabbit Hill Road to Glenridding Ravine Road SW with the completion of new roads in the neighbourhood.
On Demand Bus stops near Strathearn LRT stop will be activated for the Cloverdale and East Seniors zones.
Blackmud Creek will be switching to On Demand service and Route 722 will operate on James Mowatt Trail and Rutherford Road. Blackmud Creek residents have the option of taking Routes 722, 521 or On Demand Transit to Century Park Centre.
Portions of Maple, Tamarack, and Aster will have On Demand transit added with Meadows Transit Centre as a hub.
Starting the week of July 2, On Demand Transit service for seniors residences will be extended during the weekday. The service will be now available from 7am until 7pm, instead of from 9am to 4pm.
On April 30, four new stops will be added to the growing community of Edgemont. Six new stops will also be added in Glenridding Ravine, due to the completion of new collector roads. These stops will be closer to residences and will help enhance pedestrian safety. In response, the following 4 stops on Rabbit Hill Road will be removed:
If you want to plan a trip that includes a connection between On Demand Transit and the regular transit network, the third-party Transit app will provide options.
Note: you will still need the Edmonton On Demand Transit app to book the On Demand Transit portion of your trip.
On Demand Transit telephones are available at some transit centres and LRT stations to book a return trip.
Please note: When riders book a trip, they will be provided a couple of trip options. Once their request to book a trip is received, they can expect to wait up to 30 minutes to be picked up. They will also be given time to meet the shuttle at a designated location.
You do not pay a fare when you board an On Demand Transit vehicle. Instead, you pay a standard fare when you transfer between On Demand Transit and regular service at a transit hub.
Accounts will be reviewed based on:
When an account is under review we will first contact the rider to get a better understanding of the situation, provide trip planning tips as required, and issue a warning.
If the issue continues, Edmonton Transit may suspend the account.
If you can’t make a trip, make sure you cancel at least 20 minutes prior to boarding versus keeping the trip and not showing up. Consider booking your trip when you are close to the On Demand Transit pick up location.
Your compliments or concerns can be reported directly to the On Demand Transit contractor (PWTransit Canada) by contacting them through the app, or by phoning the call centre at 780-496-2400.
Every shuttle is assigned to pick up riders in a specific order. To maintain estimated arrival times, drivers will follow instructions provided to them by the On Demand Transit software.
