The Downtown Transit Terminal on 23rd Street will be closed between 2nd and 3rd avenues on Wednesday, June 5, at 7:00 a.m. for roadway patching following a water main break repair last week. This project is expected to take eight hours to complete, weather permitting and barring any unforeseen circumstances.

The terminal will be temporarily moved along 3rd Avenue with minimal effects on transit service and schedules. Temporary bus stop signage will help locate transfers and buses, and “no parking” signs will be set up at the temporary terminal location. Detours will guide motorists around the work zone.

Please note the sidewalks of the existing terminal will remain open, and the Transit Customer Service Centre will maintain regular hours of operation. Thank you for your patience and for following traffic detour signs for everyone’s safety.

Transit service alerts and real-time bus information are available on third-party apps like Transit and Google Maps Transit on desktop.      

If you have any questions or concerns, please do not hesitate to contact us at transit.services@saskatoon.ca or 306.975.3100. Thank you for your cooperation and support.

Saskatoon Transit is updating the system that provides real-time bus location information and service alerts used by trip-planning apps such as Transit and Google. The system will be offline for approximately 11 hours, beginning at 9 p.m. on Friday, May 24, and is expected to be available by 8 a.m. on Saturday, May 25, barring any unforeseen circumstances.

During this period, the estimated time and location displayed on the trip-planning apps will be based on the schedule, not the actual location of the bus. Customers are encouraged to arrive at their stop at least five minutes before the scheduled pick-up time.
