Saskatoon Transit Bylaw now in effect for safety, courtesy and respect
September 1, 2026 - 11:02am
- 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.
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:
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.
