- Demand Response Zones provide access to transit for everyone.

- Reduced operational Transit costs - service level appropriate to demand.
Overview
The cityLINK project is designed to maximize potential efficiency and effectiveness by providing appropriate levels of transit service to current and potential customers. In areas where high ridership potential exists, frequency will improve and trip times will be reduced. In areas that have low ridership potential, demand response service will be introduced in order to ensure that these areas maintain access to public transportation. Additional service level determinations will be based on time of day and day of week, but the span of service for Lethbridge Transit will remain unchanged.
cityLINK consists of four key components:
- High Frequency Lines
- Neighbourhood Lines
- Demand Response Zones
- cityHUBS
