Ride CK OnRequest Transit provides shared ride public transit trips between any two designated bus stop locations within an urban area. Unlike traditional fixed-route service, OnRequest requires riders to request a trip through a mobile app, web portal or by calling. The bus will pick you up at your closest bus stop and drop you off at the bus stop closest to your destination while picking up other riders along the way.
Designated stops now include both traditional bus stops marked by signage, as well as
virtual bus stops. Virtual bus stops allow for more convenient locations close to riders. They are not marked by signage. Upon booking, riders will be directed to wait at these locations including the correct side of the street in order to meet the approaching vehicle.
