On April 25, 2021 On Demand Transit arrived in Edmonton as part of the Bus
Network Redesign. Intended to fill in gaps in the new fixed route BNR, Edmonton
contracted out the operation of the On Demand Transit, after a competitive
tender processes, to PWT (buses and operators) and Via Transportation (software). The
service underwent a full evaluation after two years, at which point Edmonton City Council
decided to permanently fund the initial service in addition to several service
expansions.
ETS' On Demand contract with PWT calls for a mix of 10 and 14 passenger
buses. To cover the 14 passenger fleet, PWT acquired these these high floor, lift-equipped cutaways.
