We know that when it comes to getting around the Capital Region, convenience is paramount. What good is transportation if it doesn't take you where you need to go when you need to be there? That's why we absolutely love the new on-demand transit service, FLEX, driven by CDTA.

With curb-to-curb pickup and drop-off anywhere within the Colonie, Guilderland or Latham service areas, FLEX makes it easy to get to wherever you need to go, whether you're heading to work, a doctor's appointment, the airport, or maybe even out to eat at your favorite restaurant.

Here's how easy CDTA’s FLEX is: just download the TransLoc app to your smartphone, request and track your ride, and within 20 minutes or less you'll be on your way to your destination!

Chrissy took a FLEX ride to Colonie Center so she didn't have to worry about the parking, especially when she's out and about doing holiday shopping. For her, convenience is key.

If you're a frequent rideshare user, consider making the switch to FLEX. It's more affordable at just $3 per ride or buy a bundle pack of 10 rides for just $25. Rides can be paid for using FLEX dollars on the contactless Navigator mobile app or in exact cash onboard.

What we also love about FLEX is just how safe it is to use thanks to vehicle cameras, trained CDTA operators, and an on-board mask requirements. All vehicles are also wheelchair accessible.

It's nice to know that in these crazy, hectic times, most things in our life come on-demand if and when we need them, just like FLEX. Visit www.cdta.org/FLEX to download the app and start riding today or to find out more information.
