Residents can look forward to an On-Request North-Central service area (a consolidation of On-Request King and On-Request Gormley) which will feature improved service, including new weekday non-rush hour and weekend service in the Township of King.
To meet changing customer demand, YRT is making schedule and route adjustments across the Region, effective Sunday, Aug. 31.
On-Request King is a flexible ride-sharing service that lets you book York Region Transit (YRT) rides when and where you need them within designated service areas throughout King Township – no application needed. You can travel between addresses or connect with YRT routes where direct transit isn't available during service hours.
New service hours are Monday to Friday, 5:30 a.m. to 11 p.m.; Saturday. 8 a.m. to 11 p.m. and Sundays/holidays, 8 a.m. to 8 p.m.
Trips may occur anytime during service hours. Request the next available trip or pre-book a pick-up or drop-off anywhere from 45 minutes to one day in advance. For pre-bookings, your trip will be scheduled with a 15-minute pick-up window.
Book a ride through the YRT On-Request App available for free in the App Store or Google Play OR by calling 1-888-762-2950. Regular YRT fares apply. All YRT fare media will be accepted including PRESTO, PRESTO mobile wallet, credit, debit or exact change. Trips are provided on a first-come, first-served basis.
Frequency and service improvements will be made on several YRT routes. Learn which routes and how to plan ahead at yrt.ca/ServiceChanges.
