Free Saskatoon Transit service after Canada Day fireworks
June 27, 2025 - 10:51 am
Skip the hassle of traffic and parking for Canada Day celebrations and ride with Saskatoon Transit downtown.
Fixed-route service will operate regular holiday hours until 9 p.m. on July 1 (normal fares apply).
After the fireworks, free bus service will depart from locations on either side of the river–3rd Avenue and 19th Street (north); and Victoria Avenue and 11th Street (south). View the Canada Day 2025 special event bus map.
All Access Transit pickups and drop-offs for the event will be at the temporary stop on 2nd Avenue just north of the Alt Hotel. Access Transit will operate until 11 p.m. for customers. Per normal booking procedures, trips must be booked in advance, and subscriptions do not apply on statutory holidays.
Customers are encouraged to use real-time apps like Transit or Google Maps Transit to plan their trips. However, trip planning for travel after the Canada Day fireworks will not be available in these apps.
For Saskatoon Transit information, visit saskatoontransit.ca, or contact Customer Service at 306.975.3100 or transit.services@saskatoon.ca.
Saskatoon Transit is rolling out service changes on June 29
June 26, 2025 - 1:54 pm
- Route 8 becomes the only route on 8th Street between City Centre and Centre Mall, operating at a 10-minute frequency during peak hours.
- Route 10 replaces portions of Routes 81 and 82, connecting USask, Taylor Street, and Centre Mall more efficiently.
- Route 17 is modified and consolidates a portion of Route 13 to offer continuous service between Lawson Heights Mall and Stonebridge via USask, with new evening and weekend service for Lawson Heights Mall.
- Local route adjustments
- Route 16 improves speed and connections to City Centre, USask and Market Mall; service along 7th Street is removed and replaced by service along Main Street.
- Routes 84, 86, 87 will have faster travel times and better connections to Centre Mall; these routes will not operate west of Centre Mall.
- Schedule changes to Routes 18 and 83 to improve reliability.
Saskatoon Transit will implement route and service changes effective June 29, 2025, to improve frequency, reliability, and overall customer experience.
These changes simplify routes, improve on-time performance on 8th Street, and offer more direct and frequent connections to key destinations, such as schools, hospitals, shopping centres, and USask.
By creating a more connected transit system, buses will arrive more often and on time, providing riders with more reliable travel options.
Overview of changes:
These early improvements lay the foundation for Saskatoon Transit’s Bus Network Redesign (BNR) Phase 1, which will be developed through continued engagement starting this fall.
Download the Transit app to help with trip planning, or visit saskatoontransit.ca for new maps and schedules.
Questions regarding these changes can be directed to Customer Service 306.975.3100 or transit.services@saskatoon.ca.

- Grade 7 Winner: Sanuthi S., Prince Philip School
Saskatoon Transit is excited to announce the winners of the 6th annual Student Art Contest.

2025 Winners:
This contest is aimed at students in grades 3 and 7, as public and active transportation is part of the curriculum for those grades.
Each winning art piece will be prominently displayed on five Saskatoon Transit buses, totalling ten buses, throughout the city. Enjoy spotting the designs while riding the bus or travelling around the community!
Congratulations to the winners, and a big thank you to all students and teachers who participated this year.

Saskatoon Transit warns public to be aware of a Go-Pass fare scam
June 17, 2025 - 2:08 pm
- The scam offers seem too good to be true.
- The website may not be an official webpage or social media account page.
- Requests for personal or financial information are a red flag.
- The City never requests or collects credit card, bank accounts or any sort of personal information from customers via phone, text, social media, or email.
- Never give out your personal or banking information, or credit card number over the phone, by text, on social media, by email, or on a non-trusted website. It is a best practice to block suspicious phone numbers, email addresses or social media accounts and delete them after reporting.
- Do not click on suspicious web links.
- Always verify information from trusted sources:
- Official website:
- saskatoon.ca
- saskatoontransit.ca or transit.saskatoon.ca
- Social media channels:
- @cityofsaskatoon
- @stoontransit
- Official website:
Saskatoon Transit is warning residents of a “Go-Pass Smart Card” fare scam on social media and through a fraudulent website.
A fraudulent social media account is advertising a scam offer for a $4.00 Go-Pass that supposedly provides six months of unlimited travel. Additionally, a linked website falsely impersonates as an official Saskatoon Transit page. This deceptive tactic seeks to mislead individuals into purchasing a fake pass and sharing their personal information.
To find the complete list of fare prices for Saskatoon Transit, visit: saskatoontransit.ca/fares-passes.
How to identify a potential scam:
Helpful reminders to help protect residents from potential scammers:
Scammers typically use the information gathered to get money or commit identity theft.
Residents should contact their bank if they have become a victim of fraud and report these types of phone or online scams to Saskatoon Police Service at saskatoonpolice.ca/onlinereporting/fraud/ or the Canadian Anti-Fraud Centre, 1-888-495-8501.
Concerned residents may also call the City of Saskatoon to speak with a Customer Service Representative at 306-975-2400.
