News Releases

Saskatoon Transit is reminding customers that the Saskatoon Transit Bylaw is now in effect.

The bylaw supports a safer, cleaner and more welcoming transit system by setting clear expectations for customer conduct and the use of Transit property. It is supported by The Transit Code, which encourages riders to:

• Respect fellow riders and Transit employees.
• Pay the required fare and be prepared to show proof of payment.
• Keep buses, terminals and shelters clean.
• Avoid smoking, vaping, alcohol and drug use on Transit property.
• Keep aisles and doors clear.
• Report safety concerns and look out for one another.

Beginning today, Saskatoon Police Service officers and Saskatoon Transit Supervisors will be actively enforcing the bylaw throughout the transit system, addressing behaviours that affect the safety, accessibility or comfort of others, such as smoking or vaping, disruptive behaviour, blocked aisles or doorways, and other violations of the bylaw. The focus is on education, awareness and compliance, with enforcement tools available when needed.

As part of enforcement, customers may be asked to show proof of fare payment. Riders who pay with cash should keep the receipt given by the operator for the duration of their trip. Customers using a smart card or mobile ticket should have it ready if requested by an authorized official. Transit Supervisors and Saskatoon Police Service officers have handheld scanners to verify payment.

Saskatoon Transit encourages customers to review the Transit Code and Transit Bylaw before travelling at saskatoontransit.ca/code.

On September 1, City crews begin the annual winterization of the 480 irrigation systems in Saskatoon parks and along roadway streetscapes. Winterization is an important maintenance procedure to help ensure the longevity of the City’s irrigation infrastructure.

Irrigation winterization involves the use of large compressors that force air through the irrigation system, removing any residual water so it will not freeze within the underground pipes. The force of compressed air exiting through sprinkler heads may pick up and propel debris within the work zone.

To ensure public safety, residents are asked to follow all signage at work sites, and to stay clear of all sprinkler heads, compressor units and related winterization equipment in the parks during maintenance.

The winterization process is expected to take seven weeks. For more information, visit saskatoon.ca/parkmaintenance.

Direct bus service from the Special Events Stop (23rd Street and 2nd Avenue) to the Saskatoon Blades preseason game against the Prince Albert Raiders at SaskTel Centre today (September 1) at 2:00 p.m. is available at the following times:

• 12:50 p.m.
• 1:30 p.m.

Regular fares apply ($3.25 per trip) and can be purchased on your mobile phone using either the TGo or Transit apps, transfers and passes are also accepted.

Post-event drop-off is at the downtown terminal. Typically, buses arrive on site 30 minutes prior to the end of the event.

Plan your trip to SaskTel Centre on Route 333 using the Transit app up to two weeks in advance. Check out the Transit+ feature to help make connections that combine Transit with OnDemand Transit, riide, and Uber. Download the Transit app from the Apple Store or Google Play.

Enjoy the ease of using Saskatoon Transit for all your favourite events. Transit schedules for special events at SaskTel Centre and other popular spots are available at saskatoontransit.ca.
