With the reopening of University Bridge and College Drive to traffic, Saskatoon Transit will resume service on Routes 16 and 4/40s across the bridge. Due to 25th Street construction, Routes 16 and 4/40s will detour onto Spadina Crescent and 24th Street.

Routes 17 and 517 will continue the current detour while the Clarence Avenue intersection at College Drive remains partially closed. Once this area re-opens, Route 17 will resume regular service and the temporary shuttle Route 517 will no longer operate. 

Some stops along College Drive will remain closed, with temporary stops in place. Riders should anticipate delays during construction detours.

Routes resumed across University Bridge:

• Route 16: Detours via 24th Street and Spadina Crescent
  • Temporary stops added at 24th Street and 6th Avenue
• Route 4/40s: Detours via 24th Street and Spadina Crescent
  • Temporary stops added at 24th Street and 6th Avenue

Routes affected by College Drive detours:

  • Monday to Saturday: 6 a.m. to 6:30 p.m.
  • Sunday: 8 a.m. to 6:30 p.m.

Transit service alerts and real-time bus information are available on third-party apps like Transit and Google Maps Transit on desktop. Trip planning apps will not show temporary detours for routes affected by College Drive detours, so riders are encouraged to plan ahead.

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.
