About this app

On Demand Transit is an on request, stop to stop pickup system available at certain times and locations throughout St Thomas. Certain locations which do not have nearby fixed route service will be available throughout the day with evening and night service available city wide. This service availability is on a first come first served basis. Trips can be booked by app, website or telephone. For more information please visit www.stthomas.ca/localmotion


With a few taps, book an on-demand ride in the app and our technology will pair you with other people headed your way. No massive detours, no bus changes, no delays.

How it works:
-Book a ride on your phone.
-Get picked up on a nearby stop (or door, for parallel riders)
-Share your ride with others.
-Save cash and reduce carbon emissions.

Our app is available in English and French.

We’re all about:

SHARED.
Our routing algorithm matches people headed in the same direction. This means you’re getting the convenience and comfort of a private ride with the efficiency, speed, and affordability of a public one.

AFFORDABLE.
Aggregating people into one vehicle brings down costs. Enough said. Pay with multiple options, including credit or debit cards in-app, or with tickets.

SUSTAINABLE.
Sharing rides reduces the number of vehicles on the roads, bringing down congestion and CO2 emissions. With a couple of taps, you get to do your part to make your city a little bit greener and cleaner, every time you ride.

Great app once I figured out how to use it as a "Parallel-transit passenger". Didn't realized I had to leave my payment option on "Credit Card" once I bought the digital bus pass after paying with credit card. Just wish the app had a "Pick Up note" so the drivers knows what dwelling or door to be picked up from & also wish the app was able to take what unit or apt # on the address location on the riders profile which would be helpful for the drivers to find their passengers. The "Pick Up note" would also be handy if the driver was lost & would be easier to navigate at such large property such as shopping centres & housing units. There's a few glitches in the booking calendar I noticed such as no rides available one day & they are rides available when trying to book 12 to 24 hours later. Also on the calendar statutory holidays must be marked on the calendar to prevent booking on that particular holidays when RCT is not in service. Transit office's staff has to know from the computer how the passenger booked their rides which are "Pick up time" or "Drop off time". I like the the app & the "Cancel Ride" option whenever I needed to cancel my rides. Thanks!!, Parallel-Transit passenger!!

Bad experience - got picked up before the other passengers but got dropped off last even though the other people were way further away than us....I booked transportation wayyy before to make sure everything was good. First time using this - felt pretty inconsiderate Tim B thanks...

The time frames for this app are whack. I booked my ride last night. How are you giving me a 15-minute notification. I have a 5-7 minute walk to my bus stop location. 15 minutes is the bare minimum time i need. This apps developers need to figure their lives out. I rely on you guys, and you guys couldn't care less about my work schedule
