Trip planning

The following apps can be downloaded to your smartphone to make planning a trip with Guelph Transit easier.

Conventional bus service

Transit app

Transit app offers real time departure times for Guelph Transit, and other municipalities, too. For those who use conventional bus service, Transit app is a great tool for trip planning. The app shows accurate and up-to-date departure times in a user-friendly way. Guelph Transit is an official Transit app partner. This means users who open the app within Guelph city limits will automatically have access to enhanced trip planning features, which are typically only accessible to those who purchase Transit app’s paid version, Royale.

Google Maps

With Google Map’s built-in transit support, riders can get step-by-step transit directions, find transit stops in Guelph, and view route information and schedules.

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 has no fixed route or schedule. You have the flexibility to book a ride in advance, or at the last minute, when it’s most convenient for you. It is the same price as a conventional trip.

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.

Mobility Services

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.
