With LeeTran’s ULTRA On-Demand Transit service, a deluxe mini-bus will take you anywhere within the designated service zones. Available seven days a week from 7:00 am to 6:00 pm, LeeTran’s curb to curb ULTRA on-demand service allows riders to request a ride as needed. This service is available to anyone and on a first-come, first-served basis within the designated service zones.
