News Releases

A new fare structure for larger taxis in Saskatoon takes effect October 26, 2026, replacing the van rate that had been in place for approximately 20 years.

Under the previous system, van taxis charged 1.5 times the standard taxi fare when transporting more passengers or luggage than a sedan taxi could accommodate. The charge was intended to help recover the additional costs associated with operating a larger vehicle.

Beginning October 26, the Large Vehicle Fare of $9.50 will apply whenever a larger taxi, defined as a taxi with third-row seating, is requested directly through dispatch for any reason, or is hailed curbside with five or more passengers. The new fare more accurately reflects the current operating and ownership costs of larger vehicles compared to sedan taxis.

The updated fare structure provides greater consistency and transparency for passengers while ensuring fares better align with the cost of providing larger vehicle service. For more information visit Saskatoon.ca/vfh.

Starting Monday, October 26, Saskatoon Transit will temporarily adjust Route 10 and implement Route 510 shuttle service as construction progresses along College Drive and Cumberland Avenue. During construction, Cumberland Avenue will not be accessible from College Drive, but pedestrian access along Cumberland Avenue and across College Drive will remain open.

Riders should anticipate delays during this work, as detours will be in place for approximately four to five weeks.

• Route 10: Detours via 14th Street and Preston Avenue
• Route 510: Temporary shuttle service between Cumberland Avenue and Place Riel via Cumberland Avenue, Osler Street, Wiggins Avenue, 14th Street and Preston Avenue
  • Monday to Friday: 6 a.m. to 6:30 p.m.

Transit service alerts and bus information are available on third-party apps like Transit and Google Maps Transit. Trip planning apps will not show temporary detours for routes affected by College Drive construction, so riders are encouraged to plan ahead.  

If you have any questions or concerns, please do not hesitate to contact us at transit.services@saskatoon.ca or 306.975.3100.

For Saskatoon Transit College Drive detour information, visit saskatoontransit.ca/collegedrive.

For College Drive and related construction projects information, visit saskatoon.ca/construction.

Cumberland Avenue will close between College Drive and Elliott Street beginning at 8:00 a.m. on Monday, October 26, for approximately four to five weeks. Two-way vehicle traffic (one lane each in east and west directions) will be maintained on College Drive through the Cumberland Avenue intersection during this closure. Pedestrians will also be able to cross College Drive at a temporary signalized crossing to be installed immediately east of the intersection.

The closure is required to relocate existing traffic signal poles throughout the intersection and install new curb along the north side of the road. This work is required to be complete to allow the north lanes to be open to traffic and will help prepare the College Drive for operations over the winter season, minimizing further closures in 2027.
