North Grenville’s on-demand transit service has extended its hours.
The service is now available Monday to Saturday from 8:00 am to 10:00 pm. Sunday hours remain unchanged, from 8:00 am until 8:00 pm.
“We are excited to announce the extension of the NGtransit hours as part of Budget 2024,” says Mayor Nancy Peckford. “This enhancement reflects our commitment to providing accessible and efficient transportation options to all residents of North Grenville. Many have shared that an extra hour of service would enable NGtransit to better respond to the needs of service workers, youth, and other residents. We appreciate this feedback and have adjusted the service accordingly,” she added.
The municipality says it will continue to explore opportunities for expansion and improvements to ensure that NGtransit remains a reliable and convenient transportation option for all residents.
“Congratulations to NGtransit and the Municipality of North Grenville for extending the hours of operation, making this important service even more accessible and convenient for residents,” said Steve Clark, MPP for Leeds-Grenville-Thousand Islands and Rideau Lakes. “I’m proud our government continues to support municipal transit systems in rural and small urban communities like North Grenville because I recognize the vital role transportation plays in connecting people of all ages to their communities.”
NGtransit is available seven days a week to residents of all ages and abilities who need to travel within North Grenville’s boundaries. Pre-registration is required to book a ride. Fees are $5 per ride for adults and $3 for youth aged 12 to 19. Children 11 and under are free but must be accompanied by someone at least 12 years old.
