In 2016, we completed a major review of some northwest and inner city bus routes and implemented 17 new or amended bus routes. We’ve completed a six-month update of how the plan has proceeded since the September 5, 2016 implementation and to guide any next steps for monitoring and action. Learn more.



The goal of the service review was to create simpler, more frequent bus routes running later into the evenings and on weekends. Input from customers was used as much as possible in designing the new routes - we held 18 public engagement sessions and more than 1,500 citizens provided online feedback.

For more information, please view the project history and public feedback page.

After the introduction of new bus routes on Sept. 5, 2016, we encountered some operational concerns with Routes 9 and 90. The operational concerns negatively impacted our ability to provide safe and reliable bus service on those routes. As a result we made changes to Routes 9 and 90 in order to address these concerns while continuing to provide transit service in these communities. The changes came into effect on Dec. 19, 2016.



Route 9 was split at Foothills Medical Centre into two separate routes (view map):
