The smarter way to travel between Alberta's cities.
Comfort. Convenience. Community.
Built for people who know their time is worth more.
Time is the one asset you can never earn back. DitchRide is built around that truth.
The way Albertans travel between cities has not evolved around the traveler. Until now. DitchRide was built from the ground up to give you what you have always deserved.
Three hours behind the wheel between Alberta cities means you arrive drained, with no space to think, rest, or prepare. Your time spent consuming the journey rather than owning it.
Intercity travel built around its own fixed schedule has never been designed around your life. One departure at a time that rarely works means adapting your plans to a system that does not care about yours.
Being dropped at a city centre is not the same as arriving at your destination. The last mile has always been your problem to solve. That is time and money you should not have to spend.
DitchRide is built on three principles. They drive every departure, every seat, and every interaction.
Built to be simple. No guesswork, no scrambling.
Browse 14 daily departure times starting at 5:00 AM. Pick the slot that fits your schedule and lock in your seat.
Your spot in a comfortable 5-passenger DitchRide minivan is reserved. No uncertainty. Just show up.
Board on time. Travel comfortably with your DitchRide Captain. Request a last-mile dropoff to your exact destination.
"DitchRide waits for no one.
Because no one should have to wait."
Your fellow riders are on that minivan counting on an on-time arrival. We respect their time as much as yours. That is not a policy. That is a principle.
This is not a fine print warning. It is a feature. Every DitchRide rider made the same commitment you did. On-time departures are how we honour everyone on board. The next departure is never more than an hour away.
DitchRide is not here to be tolerated.
We are here to be yearned for.
We are opening 150 founding seats for the Albertans who believe in DitchRide before the rest of the province catches on. That kind of trust deserves something real in return.
Every trip. Every route. Every departure. Forever. This discount never expires.
When DitchRide opens a new corridor, founding riders book first. Every single time.

DitchRide is Alberta's first intercity minivan travel platform. We run comfortable 5-passenger minivans between Alberta's major cities on 14 daily schedules starting at 5:00 AM every day. Every seat is pre-booked. Every departure runs on time. Every DitchRide Captain is vetted and professional.
Because comfort is not negotiable. We deliberately chose 5-passenger capacity so every rider has generous space. This is not about maximising headcount. It is about making sure every person on board actually enjoys the ride and arrives in a better state than when they left.
If you are not on board within 5 minutes of your departure time, we go. Your fellow riders on board committed to an on-time departure. We honour that commitment for everyone on board. The next departure is never more than an hour away.
Instead of dropping you at a central point in the destination city, we get you as close to your actual destination as possible. Heading to a hotel in Banff, an office in Red Deer, or a specific address in Canmore? Request a last-mile dropoff when you book and your DitchRide Captain will take you there.
DitchRide Captains are vetted professional drivers who know Alberta's intercity routes inside out. Every Captain goes through our screening and onboarding process before their first departure. They are not anonymous strangers. They are the people the DitchRide experience is built on.
It means 20% off every DitchRide trip you ever take, forever. Every route. Every departure. Every city we add. There is no expiry. No conditions. It is our commitment to the people who believed in DitchRide before the rest of Alberta did.
150 founding seats. A lifetime 20% discount. First access to every route we ever launch. Once they are gone, they are gone.
