Reduce the need for multiple transfers and long in-transit times with efficient single trips.
This is one of the most important innovations that we have done to improve rider service … For people who live in a Community Connector zone, this makes the METRO vehicles as close as their smartphone … and it will greatly enhance their ability to use METRO services.

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.
