Trip planning will be easier in January 2025! Soon you will be able to plan your entire trip, including the On-Request portions through the Transit App.

How will this new feature work?

Put your starting address and destination in the Transit app and it will find the best route for you, using bus routes and On-Request services. If your trip includes On-Request, there is now a direct link in the Transit App that will take you to the YRT On-Request app to book your trip.
