What is on-demand microtransit?

Microtransit is an upgraded model of transportation that collects trip requests and groups passengers into shared rides, in real-time, allowing riders to book and pay for on-demand rides online or by phone. Travel corner to corner with ease. Book a ride in just a few taps. 

The app’s intelligent algorithm will match riders headed in the same direction into one shared vehicle. Riders are directed to a “virtual stop” near their pickup and drop-off location, which minimizes detours and keeps the trip efficient for everyone. 

What you need to know about The Wave

●        The service is offered at an affordable rate of $2.50 per ride, per person.

●        The service will run from Monday to Friday 7 a.m. to 7 p.m., excluding statutory holidays.

●        Book a ride using The Wave app or call 1-866-515-6664.
