Products and brands

On April 19, 2021, Cobourg began a pilot project for demand responsive transport in the city of Cobourg, after a review was finished exploring financial optimisations for the city. The transport advisory committee made a plan based on the review to experiment with software developed by RideCo, the goal being to reduce operating costs and emissions, and to get as many people in the bus as possible. The new service would launch in between 2020 and 2022, and is now known to residents as Cobourg Ride. Originally, the service was going to assist with the operation of the regular transit, as suggested by a survey monitored closely by the review, however, the town appears to have redirected to full on demand service in the near future.

Usage

In order to use the on demand bus, riders need to book in advance, using the webpage, phone app, or by calling the transit operator.

Phase 2

On June 14, 2021, the town intends to fully implement RideCo's service, removing the conventional fixed route transit, and will also fully implement WHEELS within the service by then.
