On Sunday, February 2, Edmonton Transit Service (ETS) mid-winter service changes take effect. These service changes include minor adjustments to increase service reliability and to align transit schedules with upcoming holidays as well as public, Catholic and post-secondary school calendars.
Service adjustments occur five times per year. Adjustments are based on transit data, rider feedback, seasonal changes and ridership growth, and make service more efficient and effective for riders. Riders are encouraged to plan their trips early by using the trip planner on edmonton.ca/transit or Google Maps and selecting a date after February 2.
Service changes
- ETS will move Route 9 from Bay P to Bay R at Southgate Transit Centre to help reduce congestion.
-
Route 684 will now permanently run on Groat Road and 111 Avenue instead of 114 Avenue and 135 Street.
-
Routes 658, 659, 663, 664 and 669 - Afternoon school trips will leave five minutes later to help ensure students have sufficient time to get to the bus after the school day ends.
- Morning trips on Routes 663 and 664 were adjusted in early January to start 10 minutes earlier to help ensure students have sufficient time to get to their morning classes.
- In addition, several schedule adjustments are being made to a number of routes to improve on time performance and increase service reliability for transit riders.
On Demand Transit
Additional northbound, eastbound and southbound stops have been added at 111 Street and Blackburn Drive SW for the Blackburne and Blackmud Creek neighbourhoods.
Construction & Detours
Due to the Capital Line South LRT construction, a number of routes are experiencing delays, and these delays are expected to increase as construction intensifies around Century Park Transit Centre. As construction progresses, ETS will continue to review current routes and detours to determine if additional changes need to be made.
Route 131 was rerouted in early January to operate northbound on 100 Street until the construction at the CN Tower is complete. This change is in effect until November 2025.
Holiday Service Changes
More information about holiday specific service changes can be found on the City’s website starting January 22.
