Alternative Fixed Path Transit thumb|right|Safaris "Safaris", as they are called locally, are open air taxis mounted onto the back of a pickup truck. Because VITRAN bus transit is not very efficient, some "safari" drivers operate on several VITRAN bus fixed paths including the suspended VITRAN 101 route. Those that do are locally called "Dollar Ride", a term used to describe the original fare charged that matched the old VITRAN fee. Those following a VITRAN fixed path, charge the same amount as VITRAN buses (plus bag/luggage fee) as they are required to do by the rate set by the Taxi Cab Commission. Before entering a "safari", riders should verify with the driver that they are "dollar ride" and the path.
