The On-It Regional Transit is giving local commuters a chance to experience the system for free.

Starting January 3, 2017, regular commuters and new riders can ride free on the 55-seat bus service.

“In the New Year, the CRP is offering a one-time promotion that will give riders a chance to try the system for free on Mondays and Fridays, until the end of January,” says Calgary Regional Partnership Executive Director Colleen Shepherd. “We’ve had a lot of early adopters happy to give up the battle for parking spaces and to take advantage of a smooth, undistracted ride from home to office.”

The On-It service is currently serving riders from High River, Black Diamond, Okotoks and Turner Valley.

It will be running as usual on a Monday-Friday peak commuting period schedule during the month.

The only difference is that all rides on Monday and Friday will be free!

Visit the On-it schedules page for details on stops and pickup times.

If you are looking to buy tickets and passes for Tuesday to Thursday rides in January and future months, they can be purchased at your local municipal centres and vendors.
