About Us 

Fredericton Transit provides a public transit service offering fixed routes throughout the city as well as a para transit service for riders with disabilities. These services operate 7 days a week, except on most holidays, and carry more than one million passengers each year.

At Fredericton Transit we want to encourage residents and visitors alike to use city buses. Not only will this connect customers to all corners of New Brunswick's capital city, but it will create a healthier planet for all of us.

Fredericton Transit has many features that make it easier and safer to move around the city.  All buses are accessible and offer a barrier-free transportation option. 

Automated Bus Stop Announcement System

This system helps hearing and visually impaired transit customers through audio and visual cues.  They also let customers know they're getting on the right bus.  Each stop is announced along with major destination and transfer points. Accessible Buses

Accessible Buses

Providing a fixed route service that is accessible is important to Fredericton Transit.  That's why all city buses are accessible. 

Ramps 

All city buses have the ability to lower the bus and engage the ramp.  For persons with mobility devices, operators will engage the ramp to assist with entering and exiting the bus.  Passengers using a mobility device can also use the priority space located on all city buses.  Any passenger using Fredericton Transit can request the operator to lower the bus or engage the ramp. 

Please note:  Passengers who require a mobility device can board and exit the bus independently and safely.  Passengers who require assistance boarding and exiting the bus must be accompanied by an attendant, who can ride for free.  Transit operators will assist by deploying the ramp upon request and assist with securing a mobility device.

Security

In 2022, Fredericton Transit installed closed circuit television cameras to record incidents on or near the bus. Security cameras enhance the safety of both operators and customers on the bus, as-well as providing evidence in any security or incident investigation. These cameras record incidents that occur in the passenger area of the buses as well as providing exterior views. The cameras have been installed on all city buses are are recording at all times. 

Bike racks

Fredericton Transit has new bike racks!

Fredericton Transit’s new bike racks can now accommodate a wider range of bicycles, including fat-tire models up to 5.5 inches, all year. Each rack holds two non-motorized bikes while the bus is in motion. One slot is for fat-tire bikes, while the other supports standard tires ranging from 20” to 29” (508 mm – 737 mm) with a wheelbase of up to 44” (112 cm). Please note that children’s bikes do not fit in the fat-tire space.

For safe loading, remove any loose items from your bike, inform the driver, and load from the curbside. Pull the rack down if it’s stowed, place your bike with the front wheel in the labelled slot, and secure it by positioning the support arm between the highest point of the tire and the head tube. This placement is crucial to prevent the bike from falling during transit.

When unloading, notify the driver, lift the support arm off the tire, and carefully remove your bike from the rack. Remember, always load and unload from the curbside or in front of the bus—never from the street side for safety.

Here are some tips and tricks on how to use bike racks properly:

To unload, the customer should tell the transit operator they will be unloading their bicycle. Lift the support arm to remove the bicycle. The customer should then carry the bicycle off the road and signal to the transit operator, it’s safe to drive away.
