Cobourg Transit Expands Rider Options with New App Upgrade

Multi-modal feature shows both On Demand and Fixed Route options

Cobourg, ON (June 10, 2026) – The Town of Cobourg Public Works and Engineering Division is pleased to announce an upcoming enhancement to the Cobourg Transit app that will allow riders more options when planning their ride.

Effective June 15, 2026, the app upgrade will provide riders more flexibility and choice when planning their trips. The new multi-modal feature, developed in partnership with RideCo, will allow passengers to view both on-demand and fixed route transit options in a single, convenient platform.

With this update, users of the Cobourg Transit app will now see fixed route trip options alongside existing on-demand services. This enhancement is designed to improve accessibility and make it easier for riders to choose the service that best meets their needs.

Key features of the update include:

• Integrated trip planning that displays both on-demand and fixed route options.
• Fixed route trips clearly labeled as “Cobourg Transit Fixed Route.”
• Step-by-step walking directions to and from nearby bus stops for fixed route trips.
• Continued access to on-demand service for riders who prefer flexible transportation.

Passengers choosing to use fixed route services do not need to book a trip through the app. Riders can simply go to their desired bus stop and board the bus upon arrival.

This enhancement reflects the Town of Cobourg’s continued commitment to improving transit accessibility, efficiency, and rider experience through innovative technology.

Effective June 15, 2026, the feature will become available to all users, along with in-app notifications to guide riders through the new functionality. Download the 'Cobourg Transit' App on Google Play Store or Apple App Store.
