Reduce the need for multiple transfers and long in-transit times with efficient single trips.
The on-demand transit service has allowed us to move from covering approximately 42% of the city with fixed routes to 100% with on demand. Lastly, the ability to add flex stops within the service area to locations where residents and businesses want them has been invaluable.

About the Project
â€
Short for Cochrane On-Demand Local Transit, COLT will allow residents to request a bus at northwest of Calgary
Other communities have implemented buses on demand but Cochrane Mayor, Jeff Genung says Cochrane is the first to make it system wide â€
It was almost half the operating cost for the town [compared to a continuously circulating bus system] … so that was one of the reasons we went this way.
