The region is now offering a new way to get to areas in Cambridge that have been inaccessible by bus.
The 72 Boxwood flex route is one of three new flexible bus routes being offered by Grand River Transit.
GRT said in a press release these routes provide reliable service in parts of the region that are harder to serve with regular bus routes and help build ridership in lower-density and new growth areas, while connecting transit riders to the wider network.
Route 72 operates on a fixed schedule with on-demand flex stop options to Boxwood Business Campus and Toyota. Service to these areas is available upon request and can be booked at any time.
GRT says it will look at expanding the flexible transit model to better serve areas with a lack of a grid of arterial and connector roads, neighbourhoods with winding streets, cul-de-sacs and limited connections to major roads and lower-density and new growth areas.
Riders can schedule to be picked up online or by contacting GRT directly at 519-585-7555 and selecting option 5.
