Orbus On Demand is a bookable rideshare service for Mosgiel, Wingatui, East Taieri and Kinmont.

As a rideshare service you will need to walk to and from your pick-up and drop-off location. The Orbus On Demand app will be the best way to book and manage your trips. The app will use smart technology to direct you to the shortest walking route. Rideshare means you may share your trip with other customers travelling from the same direction.

Through the app you can repeat common trips and update or cancel bookings. It will notify you when the driver is on the way and has arrived to pick you up. The app has many other features to make booking easy.

If you can’t or don’t want to use the app, you will be able to book Orbus On Demand by phoning our friendly customer services team, but notifications and updates will not be available on phone bookings. We encourage you to use the app if you can for the best experience.
