Winter Service Changes in effect January 4, 2026

We review our bus routes and schedules throughout the year to see if there are areas where we can improve service. Several factors are taken into consideration, including feedback from our customers and drivers, ridership levels and changing traffic patterns, to meet the needs of our customers.  The following changes will be in effect on January 4, 2026 and riders can expect more route adjustments during our regular schedule changes in Spring, Summer and Fall. View all Routes and Schedules.

Major highlights of this season's route changes

  • Routes 30 Lawson Heights and 35 Silverwood Heights run times and schedules were revised to improve on-time performance and better align with Route 17 Stonebridge via USask at Lawson Heights terminal during morning and afternoon peak times.  
  • New Route 529 Brighton provides weekday peak period supplemental service between Brighton and Nelson Rd/Lowe Rd, operating every 40 minutes. The schedule is coordinated with Route 29 to achieve service every 20 minutes between Brighton and Nelson Rd/Lowe Rd during weekday peak times.
