Saskatoon Transit continues to deliver high-frequency service along busy streets.

In July, bus service on Preston Avenue and Attridge Drive will be increased to every 10 minutes during business hours from Monday to Friday. Service in the evenings and on weekends will happen every half-hour, according to a news release.

The move follows similar experiments to increase bus frequency along Eighth Street in 2016 and 22nd Street in 2017.

The high-frequency routes are intended to lay the groundwork for the city’s bus rapid transit (BRT) plan, which is based on high-frequency bus routes connecting different parts of the city.

The final design of the BRT system is expected this spring.
