Leamington On-Demand Transit
The Municipality of Leamington replaced its fixed-route transit service with an on-demand service on May 2, 2022.
What is on-demand transit?
On-demand transit is a shared-ride public transit service that differs from conventional transit in that there is no fixed route or schedule. Buses are dispatched on a request basis. This means more flexibility for customers as they can book a ride when it’s most convenient for them. On-demand service can be requested from anywhere in the Municipality, allowing riders to travel from point to point without transfers.
The on-demand transit program allows people to book a trip by either calling the customer service office, booking online through an app or website. Payment can be made on the vehicle or paid through the app. Check out our FAQ section for more information or visit leamington.ca/LTGO.
Funding Recognition
The Municipality of Leamington gratefully acknowledges support through the Investing in Canada Infrastructure Program (ICIP) – Public Transit Stream. This federal infrastructure program is designed to foster long-term economic growth, build inclusive, sustainable, and resilient communities, and support a low-carbon economy.
Through this program, the Municipality received $472,645 in funding from the Canadian and Ontario governments, which was used toward the purchase of two low-floor conventional transit buses for the launch of Leamington’s on-demand transit system. This investment is helping improve public transit options, enhance accessibility, and support a more sustainable future for our community.

History of public transit in Leamington
Since 1985, the Municipality provided a public transit service known as Leamington Transit, which operated as a conventional transit fixed-route bus service with 64 permanent bus stops and served the urban area of Leamington. The ridership on the system was relatively low for a community the size of Leamington, at about 22,000 riders per year.
On May 2, 2022, the Municipality launched a new on-demand transit service called LTGO (pronounced LT-go), which replaced its fixed-route service.
The LTGO on-demand service differs from conventional transit in that there is no fixed route or schedule, and buses are dispatched on a request basis. The on-demand service uses 117 transit stops, expanding the operating area in Leamington to make it more convenient.
