Need a Lift? Call Bancroft Community Transit

Bancroft Community Transit (BCT) has released updated details regarding their shuttle services.

Bancroft Community Transit (BCT) is dedicated to connecting our regions, communities, and enhancing livability by providing a sustainable transportation network. 

Whether you are traveling from Maynooth, Faraday/Cardiff, or Coe Hill, there are options available to support your weekly and Sunday Worship travel needs through on-demand shuttle services into Bancroft and the surrounding regions.

How the On-Demand Service Works

BCT has transitioned from fixed routes to an on-demand service for its weekday operations. This change was implemented to run more efficiently and provide shorter wait times for passengers.

  • Booking a Ride: Simply call the bus number at (613) 553-8217 in the morning to arrange a pick-up time.
  • Pick-up Times: When calling, the driver will provide an estimated arrival time.
  • Accessibility: An accessible vehicle is available for those who need it, though it must be pre-booked in advance.
  • Dedicated Stop: The Chateau:
    • While the service is primarily on demand, the shuttle maintains 3 dedicated daily stops at the Chateau. These occur at: 9:45 am, 10:45 am, and 11:45 am

Sunday Shuttle Service for Local Churches

BTC continues to offer a Sunday Shuttle specifically available to local churches in the Bancroft and Bird’s Creek area.

  • To Schedule: Passengers must call (613) 553-8217 by Friday and leave a message for the Sunday Driver to arrange a pick-up.
