Grande Prairie Public Transit is proud to offer three specialized community bus services: On-Demand Transit, Late-Night On Demand Service, and Accessibility. These services are designed to meet the diverse needs of our community, ensuring convenient, safe, and accessible transportation options for all residents.

On-Demand Service

On-Demand Transit is a convenient and innovative way to keep our community connected with neighbourhoods that are better served by on-demand transit than fixed route transit.

 About On-Demand Transit:

• Schedule rides 1-3 days ahead of time (recommended) or request immediate pickup day of. 

  Same day bookings must be made within 30 minutes of your pick up time.

• Pickup at the closest bus stop within your neighbourhood.
• Drop-off at the nearest transit hub or another On-Demand neighbourhood stop.
• All Transit customers can enjoy On-Demand service

Benefits of On-Demand Transit:

• Trips available during regular transit hours using a shuttle bus service.
• More direct, often shorter travel times.
• Operational efficiencies enhance overall transit service.

Late Night On-Demand Service

Late night service is available from any transit stop to any other transit stop and is not exclusive to on-demand zones.

Regular bus fare applies.

Hours:

• Monday to Saturday: 9 p.m.- 11 p.m.
  • Last booking 30 minutes before end of service.
• Sunday: 6 p.m. to 8 p.m.
  • Last booking 30 minutes before end of service. 

The goal of late night on-demand service is to provide transit service in the most effective and efficient manner by responding directly to ride requests as they come in. It also allows riders to travel more directly, based on their requested bus stops and not along a fixed route.

The expanded hours come as a response to rider feedback for improved service options, so the City can better service its residents and connect the community.
