The Get on the Bus team is happy to see London joining the growing list of communities across Canada investigating youth transit solutions, including Halifax, Orangeville, Belleville, Victoria, Toronto, and Grand Prairie. Free youth transit can transform students’ lives by providing access to unlimited opportunities.

The Get on the Bus team is proud to see youth across the country standing up for their right to access equitable transit options and is ready to provide expertise and support to any group interested in learning more about programming, resources, partnerships and more.

A decade ago, Dan Hendry helped lead a simple but powerful model to transform public transit in the City of Kingston, Ontario. The Kingston Transit High School Bus Pass Program was born when Limestone District School Board partnered with Kingston Transit to offer high school students in the City free bus passes.

This year, Get on the Bus has gained considerable traction with communities across Canada expressing interest in implementing similar initiatives and municipalities reaching out to hear more from our team. On June 6, 2023, Dan and Burkhard were invited to present the movement at a Planning and Works Committee meeting for Waterloo (ON) Region
