Renewed support for transit growth in Ontario.

The federal government said Tuesday it will spend $12 billion on transit projects in Toronto and Hamilton. Prime Minister Justin Trudeau said the money will go toward four Toronto transit projects already underway, as well as a light rail transit line set to run through Hamilton's downtown core.

Proud to share the as a local Peterborough, ON company we've made the comminuty easier to navigate for 11,000+ people in the last 2 years through one of our platforms -https://thebus.ca.
Through our existence the city has managed to exceed the 4.5million ride goal by 200,000+ rides, 2 years in a row and the highest numbers in a decade.
We have managed to get more people riding and this is steadily reducing the harmful environmental impact single occupancy vehicles have on the environment.
We are proud of how much we've accomplished and proved alongside our Peterborough community.
We have only been able to acheive this with the help of transit riders, the Innovation Cluster, our partners, advisors and the community.

We'll be making a big announcement soon. Stay tuned.

Peterborough's only website for bus times, service alerts, weekend plans and more all in one place. Easy!

Something that we couldn't convince the transit folks to get on board last year with because of funding... The value of late night service goes beyond night workers (being that precarious employment numbers are growing here) but also for guests to the city, evening businesses and nightlife as well as safe rides home.
It's not just about transit, it's about employment, tourism, economic development, social and health impacts, law enforcement.
Why does the City and the business, employment and tourism communities still look at transit like the plague or as a tiny service to be tucked away under a corporate department rather than see the potential it has to grow this incredible and vibrant city?!

Belleville, ON confirmed today that due to the success of the on demand late night service, they are growing the service from 1 to 3 buses. We hope this is something that other small towns and cities begin to consider.
