You can take public transit around the City of Kenora with the on-demand microtransit system. Travel from corner to corner with ease on your schedule. Book a ride in a few taps on The Wave - Kenora App, and get picked up in minutes. We’ll pick you up at a convenient corner near you and drop you off at a corner close to your destination ensuring reliable and efficient service for all riders.
The Wave microtransit
The Wave microtransit travels from corner to corner rather than on a fixed route. When you book a ride, you are picked up at a convenient corner near you and dropped off close to your destination. Microtransit allows for flexible booking by making a call or using our app. The fare is $2.50 per ride, and the service is available from Monday to Friday, from 6:30 a.m. to 7 p.m. across Kenora.
To learn more about microtransit and how The Wave operates, check out The Wave landing page. See the Frequently Asked Questions section for specific details on how the service works, account and ride information, accessibility, polices, and more.
The Wave accessibility
You can request a Wheelchair Accessible Vehicle (WAV) when you book a ride on The Wave. There are two wheelchair accessible vehicles (WAV) in our fleet that are equipped with rear-loading ramps. When you book a ride, tap your profile picture or image at the top of the app menu and tap the Wheelchair Accessibility toggle to turn it on.
All drivers operating these vehicles are trained and certified in wheelchair securement.
All wheelchair riders will receive curb-to-curb service rather than the standard corner-to-corner service.
