To book a trip with YKFlex call (867) 873-8901 between 8:00 a.m. and 5:00 p.m. weekdays and Saturdays.

Types of Trips

There are three types of trip reservations:

A reserved trip is one where travel arrangements are made before the day of the needed trip by calling the YKFlex scheduling number. A reserved trip is guaranteed, subject to normal service delivery guidelines (for example, suspension of service because of bad weather).

A subscription trip is one that is needed on a regular basis, being at the same time and same days of the week each time. Only one call is needed to book a series of trips with a subscription trip. The trips will continue as subscribed until a change is asked for. A subscription trip can by changed once every three months. If you need more changes, you will have to book separate reserved trips and not use a subscription trip.

A demand trip is one where the trip request is made the day of the trip. These trips cannot always be met. It is best to book in advance. YKFlex will attempt to meet demand trip requests based on available schedule time and trip cancellations.
