Service Area
Caledon’s transit pilot will operate within three service areas: Caledon East, Mayfield West, and Bolton. Residents will be able to request pick-up and drop-off at locations within these service areas, as well as at designated transfer points shown below.
| What is Caledon’s Argo transit? |
| Caledon’s Argo transit is a fully electric vehicle that offers on-demand rides and connects to the existing Brampton Transit, York Region Transit, and GO Transit network. The service picks you up near your door for a standard fare, and it dynamically combines your trip with others headed in the same direction for a time-efficient ride. |
| How long is the pilot program? |
| The Caledon Argo Transit Pilot launches on September 14, 2026 and runs to the end of 2027. |
| Does the service make direct trips outside of Caledon? |
| Caledon’s Argo Transit pilot is a local community service that can facilitate transfers to Brampton Transit, York Region Transit and GO Transit services at designated transfer locations, but will not directly take riders to destinations within adjacent municipalities. |
| How do transfer payments work? |
|
Riders can transfer between Argo and connecting transit services, including Brampton Transit, York Region Transit, and GO Transit. While the connecting transit service will continue to charge its regular fare, Argo will not charge a fare for trips to or from designated transfer points. This ensures that riders using Argo to connect with other transit services are paying a single fare for their journey and are not charged twice to complete their trip. |
| What if I lose something on an Argo trip? |
| A Lost and Found to store items left on Argo buses is available at the Caledon East Community Complex (CECC) (6215 Old Church Rd, Caledon) customer service desk. If you've lost an item, call the CECC at 905-584-2272. |
| How do I pay for my trip? |
| Fares are paid through the app or by phone with a credit or debit card |
| Can I use Presto to pay? |
| Presto payment is currently unavailable within the routes operated by Argo in Caledon. However, the transit service will accommodate free transfers to and from Brampton Transit, York Region Transit, and GO Transit services. |
| What kind of buses are being used? |
| Argo uses fully electric vehicles that can carry up to 18 passengers. All vehicles are wheelchair accessible. |
| How far in advance can I request a trip and what’s the wait time? |
| Riders may pre-book trips up to two days in advance or request last minute rides through the mobile app or by phone. When pre-booking, riders can specify their desired departure or arrival time. |
| How many Argo buses are operating in the pilot areas? |
| The Argo fleet includes 10 buses. The number of buses on the road at any time varies based on charging schedules and availability. |
| How will Caledon's Argo transit service handle high demand times? |
| During high-demand periods, the transit service will predict demand and adjust accordingly. You may experience slightly longer wait times, but the service will do its best to minimize it. For time sensitive trips, or if you are travelling longer distances, we recommend reserving a booking in advance. |
| What happens if the bus is early or late? |
| If the bus arrives early, it will wait for the scheduled departure time. However, once the departure time arrives, the bus will leave, regardless if all riders are onboard or not. This ensures that buses stay on schedule for everyone. |
| What happens if a bus goes out of service mid-ride? |
| If an unexpected issue arises where your bus cannot continue a trip, another Argo bus will be dispatched to replace it. |
| Can I track my bus in real time? |
| Yes, riders can track their bus in real time through the Argo Transit app or by calling Argo at (888)401-8252. |
| Can I request a trip for myself and others that are travelling with me? |
| Yes. When requesting a ride, you can book for multiple riders. |
| Can I board the bus without requesting a trip? |
| No. The bus will only visit a stop where a trip has been requested through the app or by phone, and only passengers that have requested trips will be allowed to board. |
| What if I don’t show up to my trip? |
| If you are unable to make your trip, please cancel your trip. Multiple late cancellations or “no shows” may result in suspension from the service. |
| Is the bus accessible friendly? |
| Caledon’s Argo transit buses are wheelchair accessible, and the accessibility-trained drivers are ready to assist. |
| Where does Argo operate in Caledon? |
| During the pilot, Argo’s on-demand ride will only be available in Bolton, Caledon East and Mayfield West/Southfields. Riders can travel within and between these service areas, with and provide connections to Brampton Transit, York Region Transit, and GO Transit. |
| How much does it cost? |
|
Adult (20-64) - $3.55 Youth (13-19) - $2.95 Child (6-12) - $2.00 Preschool Child (5 and under) – Free Senior (65+) - $1.85 |
