On-demand and mobility bus service
- Guelph Transit On-demand App: The Guelph Transit On-demand App is used for booking and scheduling on-demand and mobility rides.

On-demand service uses buses. Unlike car services you would book via a smartphone app, your ride will be shared with other riders in a Guelph Transit vehicle.
Learn more about on-demand - Mobility Services is a specialized transit service that provides accessible transportation within the city limits of Guelph. Service is provided on wheelchair accessible buses and, when needed, contracted taxi services.
