Saskatoon Transit keeps riders informed on Transit app and website 

January 10, 2023 - 10:01 am

When there are service adjustments, Saskatoon Transit wants riders to know as soon as possible. Here are some ways riders can stay informed of any changes to service:  

  • Pin the routes you use in the transit app to receive push notifications in real time with all the information you need for your trip   
  • Bookmark SaskatoonTransit.ca/service-alerts and check for service alerts to see all adjustments currently in effect 
  • Call Transit Customer Service (306.975.3100) with questions or for help trip planning 

Saskatoon Transit strives to maintain scheduled service, however, there are times when service may be impacted. To keep riders in the know, service alerts are issued when: 

  • Regularly scheduled frequency is temporarily reduced 
  • Service is delayed by more than 15 minutes 
  • Stops are temporarily closed, or routing is temporarily altered (detours)  
  • Additional service is provided to help with busy routes 

When there is a known possibility that frequency may be affected in the morning, service alerts will be issued the night before on the potentially affected routes. This is done so riders can plan to either use a different route or travel at a different time. Follow up service alerts will be issued in the morning when service impacts are confirmed to update riders.

Once again, SGI and Saskatoon Transit have partnered to offer free late-night transit service on New Year’s Eve.

“Having free Transit service on New Year’s Eve removes any financial barrier to planning a safe ride home after a night out,” says Cory Shrigley, Manager Customer Support & Engagement, Saskatoon Transit. “We encourage everyone to plan their route before heading out using the real-time mobile app Transit.”   

Residents are encouraged to think about using a variety of transportation modes on busy nights like New Year’s Eve. Multi-modal options are available on the Transit app. You can plan your trip taking the bus out of the downtown or busy areas and book your ride share for the short distance home all from inside the app. Transit+ seamlessly integrates a Riide or Uber vehicle with a transit connection.

By combining transportation modes residents can minimize wait times and costs.

Free bus service will be available on Saturday, December 31, from 7:00 p.m. until 3:00 a.m. on January 1 (times may vary slightly by route).

For a transit schedule go to SaskatoonTranist.ca/route-and-schedules, use the transit app or call 306.975.3100 for help with trip planning.

“There is no reason for impaired driving, especially on New Year’s Eve,” Shrigley says. “We are thankful to have SGI as a partner in providing free transit service on New Year’s Eve.”

Access Transit is free for registered customers as well but must be reserved.
