The way bus service is provided in Canyon County is about to change.
ValleyRide says the fixed-route bus system in Nampa/Caldwell is moving to a new “on-demand” service starting Monday October 5.
ValleyRide buses will no longer pick up passengers waiting at a bus stop, using fixed time schedules.
If you are looking to take a bus in Nampa/Caldwell, you will have to schedule a ride between any two existing bus stops or any of the 200 “virtual” bus stops, using the VRT OnDemand mobile app.
Bus riders will be picked up at the nearest ValleyRide bus stop or pick-up location of their choosing, then dropped off at another bus stop closest to their destination.
The app will be available to download as of Oct 1. In addition to the VRT OnDemand mobile app, someone wanting a ride can call the Valley Regional Transit Help Desk or book online at valleyregionaltransit.org.
