Get around Durham on Dial-A-Bus One of Scugog’s best kept secrets could well be the relatively new "Dial-a-Bus" service which is provided to the public every Thursday by Durham Region Transit. For instance, did you know any resident of Durham can simply pick up the phone and travel almost anywhere in North Durham, to visit, shop or just get out of the house? You can use DRT Community Dial-a-Bus service for the following: 1. Travel within Port Perry and other Scugog Township communi- ties; 2. Travel to Port Perry from Seagrave, Greenbank, Nestleton, Caesarea, Blackstock and Scugog Island; 3. Transfer to the GO Bus in Port Perry and use Go Bus Northbound to Beaverton and Southbound to Whitby, and 4. Group service to other North Durham communities and Oshawa is also available. Anyone wanting to access the Dial-a-Bus service can do so by call- ing 1-800-263-1916 to arrange for a pick-up and return. To make sure a bus is available for Thursday pick-up, you must call before 3:00 p.m. the day before (Wednesday) so staff can establish a schedule to accommodate your request. Dial-a-Bus is part of the Durham Region Transit “One Fare Anywhere” program, which also provides riders with the ability to transfer from all DRT routes to GO Transit business with a single fare.
