THE LINK RURAL BUS SERVICE

The Link is a pilot project funded through the Province of Ontario. Project partners include Selwyn Township, Curve Lake First Nation, Community Care Peterborough and the City of Peterborough. This new service will allow Trent students and Peterborough community members to travel to the surrounding areas of Selwyn, Bridgenorth, Lakefield, Ennismore, and Curve Lake.

Trent students are able to use The Link bus service at no extra cost with presentation of the TCSA transit pass. Routes and schedules can be found above.

Google Maps Trip Planning

Transit riders can now map and plan trips on Google Maps! Simply use your Google Maps app or web browser on your computer or phone, input your destination to get directions, and then click on the bus/transit icon. The map will show you your route and the travel/arrival time, as well as when the next bus will be arriving and the bus stops closest to you.

All routes and schedules can be found on the City of Peterborough website. The TCSA and Peterborough Transit will closely monitor the changes and are dedicated to providing the Trent community with exceptional service. If you have any questions or concerns, we welcome your feedback. Please email bus@trentcentral.ca. 

ID123 Digital Transit Pass

Your transit pass is now in the palm of your hand! All undergraduate students registered in 1.5 credits or more will automatically be billed for a transit pass. Submit your photo for your transit pass on myTrent, and download and set up your digital transit pass by downloading the ID123 app on your phone’s App Store. Search “Trent University” as your institution and enter your name and student number to set up your digital transit pass. Have your pass ready to present to the driver as you board the bus.

BUS ETIQUETTE

We kindly ask that you respect your fellow students and community members while riding the bus. Here are some tips on how you can help to keep the transit system operating smoothly:

  • Have your transit pass ready to clearly present to the driver when boarding

  • To allow for single direction of traffic flow onboard the bus, please enter through the front door and exit through the back door. Riders with mobility accommodations will continue to access the front door ramp.

  • Be aware of those around you and be conscious of your conversations and actions. When finding a place on the bus, keep an eye out for areas with extra space and respect fellow riders’ personal areas when moving about the bus.

  • Help keep buses clean by taking any garbage with you when you exit the bus

  • Give yourself extra travel time; drivers try their best to stay on schedule but some delays are unavoidable.

Riders are encouraged to check the City’s website peterborough.ca regularly for changes that may impact travel planning.
