HandyDART
Make going places easier with HandyDART. Our door-to-door shared-ride service uses specially-equipped vehicles designed to carry passengers with physical or cognitive disabilities who need assistance to use public transit.
We’ll pick you up at the outside door of your residence and drop you off at the outside door of your destination.
Am I Eligible?
If you have a physical or cognitive disability and are unable to use public transit without assistance, you’re eligible to use HandyDART.
Our HandyDART service just got better! After a two-year public consultation process we’ve made some changes - more vehicles, enhanced hours and a centralized call centre number.
To book a trip on HandyDART, call 604-575-6600.
