Coming soon to Blackburn Hamlet... OC Transpo On-Demand!

Hey Blackburn Hamlet, soon we’ll be launching OC Transpo On-Demand, an on-demand transit pilot project that will replace Route 28 on weekends and select holidays.

On-demand transit uses technology to create responsive transit service based on customers trip requests instead of traditional fixed routes and schedules. Customers will be able to book same-day and next-day trips between existing Route 28 bus stops and at Blair Station and the Gloucester Centre.

During the pilot project, OC Transpo On-Demand will run from 7 am to midnight on Saturdays and 9 am to 6:30 pm on Sundays.

Route 28 will continue to operate on weekdays when OC Transpo On-Demand is not in service.

Since the beginning of the COVID-19 pandemic, there have been significant changes to how often and how many customers use transit.
