Children Safety On Board
It’s important to identify if you need a child safety seat or stroller storage when booking a trip, to ensure there is enough space.
The On Demand Transit shuttle buses are designed for passengers of all ages.
- You can bring a child stroller onto the shuttle, but it cannot be wheeled aboard.
- There is space on board for 2 strollers, if they are folded and stowed away.
- There is no bike rack on the vehicle or space on board for a standard bicycle.
- Each shuttle bus is equipped with 1 or 2 built in safety seats that you must strap young children (20 to 51 pounds/9 to 23 kilograms) into for safety purposes. The Alberta Traffic Safety Act requires passengers of all ages to wear seatbelts or use approved safety seats in vehicles like these.
- You must bring your own infant safety carrier for those children who weigh less than 20 pounds or 9 kilograms.
- Bucket style infant carriers should be buckled into the seat belt provided.
- Children under the age of 12 are strongly encouraged to travel with a parent or guardian for their own personal safety.
Note: On Demand Transit is intended to link customers to other Edmonton Transit bus and LRT routes, and is not meant as a replacement for yellow bus service provided by school boards. However, older youth can travel with other customers to a transit hub where they can transfer to regular bus and LRT routes, including those heading to schools.
