TransitPLUS cannot guarantee same day booking requests. The service will strive to maintain and accommodate all same day bookings that are made. Like any type of door-to-door service, any transportation request that is made will be dependant upon the current demand at the time of the request. Bookings will always be prioritized on a first come first serve basis. TransitPLUS would encourage all riders pre-book any ride that they know may be coming up.

TransitPLUS operates 7 Days a week 7:00 a.m. – 9:00 p.m.

It is recommended that riders book a return trip when scheduling their initial trip. We encourage riders to plan ahead as best as possible to ensure a pickup is available. It is recommended that riders provide a window of at least an hour if there is a pickup required after your initial trip. Providing an estimated time window allows dispatch to coordinate all bookings throughout the day to effectively schedule all pickups and drop offs in a timely manner.  

Riders may call 705-446-1196 to arrange a pickup after their initial trip, however an immediate pickup may not be available based upon current demand.

TransitPLUS will Service all areas within the municipal boundaries of Collingwood and Wasaga Beach. In Clearview Township, service will be limited to only the areas currently serviced by Clearview Transit.

Please call 705-446-1196 to ask about availability for services in an around the Blue Mountain Link service area.

The Red Cross will still be completing trips that require travel outside of the boundaries of Collingwood, Wasaga Beach, and Clearview Township.  Please continue to call 705-721-3313 to book rides out of area if needed.  

As mandated by the AODA, municipalities that provide conventional transit services are required to provide specialized transit services during the same hours and for the same fare in the jurisdiction in which both services operate.  At this time, service will be maintained during the same hours as public transit.

TransitPlus fares are cash only at this time.  Exact change is required.

The first phase of on demand transit will only be available using the existing bus stops on the Colltrans East, West, and Crosstown Routes.

The Blue Mountain Link will remain on a fixed service at all times and continue on a regular schedule.

Regular transit fares still apply, however it is free to download and book rides with the app!

Not at this time. On Demand transit service is available on weekends during the phase 1 of the Collingwood On Demand Pilot Project. Current conventional transit schedules will continue during the week until further notice.
