Saskatoon Transit is rolling out service changes on June 29

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:

• 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.

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.
