What is Pingo?
Pingo is a safe and easy way for you to share a ride. With the Ride Pingo app, request your ride and the bus will pick you up wherever you are. No need to walk to a bus stop. Depending on your location, you may need to walk to a safe location for the bus to pick you up. The bus will pick you up at the intersection nearest to your requested pick-up location. Our buses cannot navigate certain streets and will not travel down driveways or dead-end streets.
It’s as easy as 1-2-3!

How to Use the Ride Pingo App
FAQs
Q: Why is the app not working on my phone?
A: The app relies on connections to networks to transmit your location and ride request, as well as the location of the bus. Poor network connection can impact Pingo’s performance. Unfortunately the network connection is beyond our control. You can try to turn off Wi-Fi temporarily on your phone; some users have reported issues with the app when Wi-Fi is enabled. If the signal strength indicator on your phone shows a weak mobile network connection, try to move to an area where the phone registers a stronger mobile network signal.
