Low-Income Saskatoon residents can purchase a monthly bus pass at a reduced rate. The discounted rates are:

  • High School Pass $47.20
  • Adult Pass $66.40

You are accepted to the program for one year at a time. If you would still benefit from the Low-Income Bus Pass program at the end of that time, you will need to requalify.
