Saskatoon Transit is inviting residents to help shape the future of public transit by participating in the Bus Network Redesign Survey, the first phase of a comprehensive engagement process. The survey is now open and seeks input from transit customers and the broader community on what matters most when considering transit service.

“We’re asking people who take transit or would like to take transit to tell us what they value most in a new reliable, connected transit system,” says Saskatoon Transit Director Mike Moellenbeck. “The feedback we receive will guide our updated Service Standards and help us design a network that truly reflects the needs of our community.”

The bus network redesign aims to connect communities with the new Link system by 2028. Residents are encouraged to take the survey and share their preferences on key aspects such as frequency, walking distance, willingness to transfer and travel time. The results will inform Saskatoon Transit’s updated Service Standards and be used in the redesigned bus network, to be presented in 2026 for public feedback.

Saskatoon is reaching out to the broader community and encouraging community groups and network to encourage their members to participate. People can find the survey online or complete a printed version at Saskatoon Transit’s Customer Service Centre in the downtown bus terminal.

“Saskatoon Transit is committed to clear, transparent communication throughout this process,” added Moellenbeck. “We want everyone to have a chance to be heard, and we’ll report back on how your feedback shapes the future of transit in Saskatoon at each stage.”

To take the survey at bit.ly/stoonbusnetwork and learn more about the project at saskatoontransit.ca/BusNetworkRedesign.
