What is On-Request King City GO?
On-Request King City GO allows you to travel between the GO Station to a fixed address within the service area, using a YRT-marked vehicle.
This means you can get picked up from your home address (within the service area) and dropped off at the GO Station in the morning and back home in the evening, making your commute easy.
Service hours:
Weekdays:
- 5:30 a.m. to 9:30 a.m.
- 4 p.m. to 8 p.m.
How does it work?
- Trips may occur any time during service hours. Bookings may be made anywhere from 15 minutes to two hours before your desired travel time. Trips can be booked no earlier than two hours before the start of service.
- It is recommended you add 15 minutes to your travel time to ensure on-time arrival for your departure at the GO station. This will allow extra time in case of traffic delays, etc.
- Book a ride through the Mobility On-Request app available for free in the App Store or Google Play OR by calling 1-844-667-5327
- YRT will give you a pick-up time. Trips are provided on a first-come, first-served basis.
- A YRT-marked vehicle will pick you up from the curb of your address and take you to King City GO Station (building entrance), and vice versa. Rides may be shared with other travellers.
- Take YRT to the GO Station for free when you use your PRESTO card
Note: Ride times may update to accommodate other riders. Please check the Mobility On-Request App for the most up-to-date pick-up time. This feature is only available through the app. If bookings are made by phone, you will not be informed of any changes to your initial pick-up time.

Frequently Asked Questions
PRESTO
How does the PRESTO fare work on On-Request? |
| Treat your On-Request ride as you would a regular YRT trip. Tap on when you board the On-Request vehicle. For GO Transit, tap on and off as you normally would when taking GO. |
How does the fare charge on my PRESTO account? |
| If you are using a PRESTO card, your ride on On-Request will be free if transferring to or from GO Transit services. Visit our Ride to GO page for more information. |
Booking a trip
Why can’t I book my trip the night before? |
| We have designed this as an On-Request service. To avoid costly trip cancellations or “No Shows,” we send trips to drivers in real-time rather than pre-booking. |
When can I book my trips? |
| Trips may occur any time during service hours. Bookings may be made anywhere from 15 minutes to two hours before your desired travel time. Trips can be booked no earlier than two hours before the start of service. |
What should I do if my train is delayed and I am going to be late for my pick up? |
| Please cancel your trip and reschedule to accommodate the delay. |
Can I save my favourite destinations? |
| Once a trip is booked, your itinerary will be displayed. On this screen, you may save your trip by clicking the heart icon in the top right corner. This will save your origin and destination and mark it as a favourite. You may access your saved itinerary for faster future bookings, which can be found under "Favourites" in the drop down menu. |
What if I need to transfer between On-Request services? |
| If your journey spans more than one On-Request service area, Customer Service Representatives will assist with trip planning using all available On-Request services and YRT routes. Our goal is to provide you with the best available travel plan. If you are connecting to a YRT route or other On-Request service, please remember to add 15 minutes to your travel time to ensure on-time arrival at the required bus stop or drop-off location. This will allow extra time in case of traffic delays, etc. If you are travelling on a YRT route that is running late, please call 1-844-667-5327 to reschedule your connecting On-Request trip. |
On-Request vehicle
How do I recognize the correct vehicle if there is more than one? |
| Look for the driver’s license plate number on your app. |
Can I bring shopping bags or boxes? |
| Yes, riders are welcome to bring a maximum of four shopping bags on the trip. There is a bag limit in place so that we can offer everyone a comfortable shared journey with adequate space. Please ensure each shopping bag weighs less than 10 pounds. |
Do I tip my driver? |
| No, you do not tip. Although it is similar to a ride share/taxi service, this is a public transit service. |
Why can’t I message my driver? |
| We do not have this feature at this time. Please be ready for pick up at the address provided in the app. |
Will there be ratings for drivers and passengers like other ride share services? |

We value all feedback to continuously improve service. |
