| IMPORTANT - COVID-19 TRANSIT IMPACTS |
|
FREE TRANSIT AND REAR ENTRY AND EXIT ONLY FROM MARCH 20 – JULY 31, 2020 As the Novel Coronavirus (COVID-19) situation continues to evolve and information changes rapidly, the City continues to adapt and proactively respond accordingly. The City of Orillia is focused on the protection of its employees and prevention of potential spread of COVID-19 within its workforce and the community. Effectively immediately, Orillia Transit will be offering free transit to its riders and will be requiring riders to board and exit the bus from the rear door only. It is critical for people to have the ability to ride the bus to get basic things like groceries or to jobs that we rely on. Offering free transit creates the opportunity to have riders board from back door, which reduces risk to transit operators and further supports social distancing. Riders must board and exit the bus from the rear door only. People with accessible needs can continue to board using the front doors. Please ensure you practice social distancing of 2 metres (6 feet) while waiting for the bus or on board the bus. Intermittent Service Issues Orillia Transit may be experiencing intermittent service issues on some routes. We recommend downloading and using the Pingstreet application before departing on your trip to track your bus. Specialized Transit Considerations Orillia Transit continues to operate and has increased the cleaning of vehicles and facilities. Thank you to TOK Transit and its drivers for the extra measures they are putting in place. To protect the Specialized Transit Clients and Operators and to help minimize the spread of COVID-19:

There are a variety of money-saving options for frequent Orillia Transit users.
A monthly pass allows unlimited ridership privileges on all Orillia Transit regular routes for the month and year as punched on the face of this pass. A photo ID (valid federal or provincially issued) must be provided for validation upon purchase, and must accompany the user of this pass to be valid when boarding a transit bus.

Valid passes must be punched twice (one "year" punch, one "month" punch), and are only valid for that period. Passes with more or less than two punches will be void and confiscated by the driver.
