Bradford West Gwillimbury Launches On-Demand Transit System

"Today's launch in Bradford West Gwillimbury represents the debut of a new category of urban mobility," said Praveen Arichandran, CEO and co-founder of Argo. "Together with BWG Council and regional partners, we’re showcasing Canadian innovation on a global stage, delivering a transit model that connects people to opportunity and sets a standard for cities worldwide." 

 Designed for People. 

 BWG is working to make public transit better – for riders and for taxpayers. 

• Unlocking Opportunity: Easier access to jobs, education, healthcare, and the community improves quality of life for all residents. Increased accessibility supports seniors, those with disabilities, and underserved populations. 
• Reduced Traffic: Reducing the need to walk or drive to transit stops creates a more convenient alternative to private car usage, driving people into transit systems and out of private cars. 
• Taxpayer Savings: Smart routing reduces cost per ride, delivering increased service levels at a lower cost to the taxpayer. 
• Environmental Leadership: Fully electric fleet and smart charging infrastructure reduces emissions and protects the environment. 
• Job Creation: BWG’s On-Demand Transit is proudly Canadian, built in Ontario, creating new high-value tech jobs and hiring locally.

Phased Rollout in BWG 

 Residents will begin seeing the Argo vehicles in service immediately as part of a staged rollout plan. Existing fixed bus routes will continue to be fully operational during the phased roll out. Early access will be available to regular passengers of the fixed-route buses. Argo staff will be on these buses, generally during the peak hours, to explain the on-demand service, to assist with the download and setting up the App. Additional information on the municipality-wide rollout will be communicated in the coming weeks.
