Commuters may schedule rides shortly before their desired pick-up time using the Wheels2U app, which can be downloaded by searching “Wheels2U” at the Apple App store or Google Play store. Riders will pay a $2.00 fare with the app or may utilize a Metro-North Uniticket (combined weekly or monthly Metro-North rail and bus pass).
Wheels2U Westport uses Norwalk Transit’s comfortable blue Wheels2U vehicles and white shuttle buses which are driven by NTD’s professional and courteous drivers. It replaces Westport Transit’s seven commuter shuttles routes and the temporary on-demand commuter service implemented in March due to the COVID-19 virus.
