Another change is being implemented to Fort Saskatchewan's transit system.

During their special meeting on Wednesday (Apr.1), council approved temporarily adding Saturday to their transit service days. Currently, it's Monday to Friday.

The goal is to spread out passengers and reduce the amount of people on the bus during busy times by having an extra day available.

The city also agreed to reduce the frequency of trips during the day from every 30 minutes to 60 minutes, as ridership is down 70 per cent overall. Reducing the times should save the city an estimated $11,500 a month.

These changes will be in effect from Apr.14 to June 30.

Fort Saskatchewan transit will be keeping the green line operational, often used by residents of seniors' homes, as some riders strongly rely on its service.
