Reduce the need for multiple transfers and long in-transit times with efficient single trips.
This is a very convenient way for our customers to use public transit in our community. It's highly scalable in the sense [that] we can increase the number of vehicles based on demand for our service, and it can be completely integrated with our other service areas. We are now basing our service based on demands from our community.

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.
