Starting January 4, 2026, Saskatoon Transit is rolling out winter service changes to improve reliability, increase frequency and enhance connectivity across the city. These updates are part of our ongoing commitment to modernize transit and better serve riders as we prepare for future rapid transit plans.

These updates respond to rider feedback, ridership levels and changing traffic patterns:

  • Schedule adjustments for improved reliability.
  • Increased frequency in Evergreen and Brighton to address over-capacity and better connect with other routes.
  • Improved connections at the Lawson Heights Mall terminal between Routes 30/35 and Route 17.
  • Expanded coverage and afternoon pick-up times for Taylor Street high school routes to Lakeridge, Lakeview, Meadows and Rosewood.

Visit saskatoontransit.ca/routes or use your favourite trip planning app to see how your route is affected. Contact Saskatoon Transit Customer Service at transit.services@saskatoon.ca or call 306-975-3100.

Saskatoon Transit will offer free evening bus service on New Year’s Eve to help everyone get where they need to go safely.

Free fare service will be available on Wednesday, December 31, from 7 p.m. to 3 a.m., with times varying slightly by route. Registered Access Transit customers can also reserve free service until 2:30 a.m.

On busy nights like New Year’s Eve, riders are encouraged to plan ahead. Trip-planning apps will not be available after regular service hours, so customers should check schedules, review route maps, and save trip details earlier in the day using the Transit App or Google Maps Transit. Routes will continue operating at their scheduled frequency until approximately 3 a.m.

Use Transit+ to find the quickest route to your destination. Multi-modal options help cut wait times and costs, making it easy for riders to combine trips with Riide or Uber.
