REMINDER: SASKATOON TRANSIT SERVICE DISRUPTIONS EFFECTIVE TUESDAY, SEPTEMBER 2
Saskatoon Transit will not have sufficient buses available to run full transit service starting on Tuesday, September 2, 2014. There is a backlog of maintenance on our fleet which prevents us from running all services.
The following services will be running on Tuesday, September 2:
- All regular routes
- All Dart routes
- College Park to St. Joseph High School Special
- Caswell School Special
- Access Transit is not affected
The following services will be temporarily suspended or delayed effective Tuesday, September 2:
- All High School Specials (with exception of College Park to St. Joseph) will be suspended
- Downtown Direct services will be suspended
- University Direct services will be suspended (regular routes to the University will still be running)
- Extra buses during peak travel times for popular transit routes will be suspended (e.g. Route 80 –Kenderdine/City Centre)
- The
implementation of new routes will be delayed:
o Route 26 (Clarence/University)
o Express Routes for Parkridge, Willowgrove and Kenderdine Express
The following new temporary services will be provided starting Tuesday, September 2:
- Shuttle buses from Centre Mall to Holy Cross and Walter Murray Collegiate.
- Shuttle buses from Confederation Terminal to Bethlehem & Tommy Douglas Collegiate.
All routes are anticipated to experience increased usage. We encourage transit users to consider adjusting their trip times to avoid peak morning and afternoon trip times.
Please Note:
Extra buses during peak travel times for popular transit routes will not be in service. We will do our best to issue timely updates on Saskatoon Transit Service Alerts to keep customers informed if a route is at capacity and unable to pick up more passengers.
Saskatoon Transit Service Alerts are available on www.saskatoon.ca and are shared on Twitter and Facebook. Residents can also subscribe to receive alerts using an RSS Feed. These timely updates will provide customers with the ability to make decisions on whether they want to wait for the next bus or make alternative arrangements.
We will continue to provide service updates as soon as additional buses become available and transit services are added back.
In all situations where transit is being suspended, there are still other route options for getting to your destination.
There are a number of ways available for residents to find alternate bus routes:
