SASKATOON – The city is considering changes to some Saskatoon transit routes and is looking for input from riders.

The proposed changes will affect routes 1, 3, 4, 5, 11, 14, 21, 22, 23 and 25.

Officials say changes and enhancements will address routes currently experiencing reliability and capacity issues and streamline some of them to be more direct and help reduce trip times.

Other changes include increasing service frequency in areas where passenger numbers are high, adding new services and adjust routes to better reflect trip needs.

The new services will include a limited stop service from Fairhaven to downtown and the university and a feeder service from the Rosewood neighbourhood to routes 50 and 60.

There will be a chance for riders to offer input to the proposed changes at two open houses.

The first takes place Tuesday, March 11 from 6:30 p.m. to 8:30 p.m. in the cafeteria at Mount Royal Collegiate. The second takes place on Wednesday, March 12 from 6:30 p.m. to 8:30 p.m. at Alice Turner Library.

Another option for passengers to provide feedback is through a survey at Shaping Saskatoon. The deadline for completing the survey is March 30.

Feedback will then be used to prepare the final report for council for approval.
