What does a Wheelchair Accessible Low-Floor (ALF) bus mean for you?
Curb level entry, easy ramp access, wider doors and rear-facing wheelchair secure spaces gives riders more freedom and makes accessible travel comfortable and safe.
Guidelines
- Most electric mobility scooters, due to their dimensions, are not permitted on Codiac Transpo buses. Certain mobility scooters, such as those that fold, are permitted with pre-approval from Codiac Transpo, to ensure that the scooters can fit on the ramp and in aisles. For pre-approval, please phone our office at 506-857-2008.
- Customers must be able to independently board, pay, and disembark or travel with attendant assistance.
- Customers with mobility issues must board and disembark via the front door ramp.
Wheeling On and Off an ALF Bus
- Allow other customers to first board and disembark.
- Deposit fare in box. The operator can provide assistance if needed.
- Back in to wheelchair location.
- Keep backpacks/bags off the floor
- Secure brake and seatbelt. Power off electric chairs. Securing the wheelchair is mandatory.
Codiac Transpo is in the process of implementing an audiovisual system to announce upcoming stops. The system includes recorded announcements as well as a screen at the front of the bus that displays the upcoming stop.
It will be of particular assistance to those with visual and hearing impairments, but it benefits all passengers!
How it works
- The system announces the approaching stop.
- Stops are announced by the nearest cross street (ex. Main-Cameron) where possible, and with street addresses when a cross street is not available (ex. 1111 Main). Stops may also use the name of a significant building (ex. People’s Park Tower).
- Not every stop is announced as sometimes stops are too close together to do so. The bus will still stop in between as requested, but the stop will not be announced over the sound system.
Available on the following bus routes:
- 16 Hennessey
- 50 Red
- 51 Green
- 60 Bessborough
- 86 Pinewood
Additional routes are being worked on with the goal of having all buses providing this service as soon as possible.
Free transit for CNIB members and attendants
