Transit Service Changes

Five times each year, ETS reviews rider feedback, schedules, service levels and routes to ensure we’re providing the right amount of service at the right time. Starting February 2, various bus routes will have some service changes, to reflect typical mid-winter ridership patterns.

Service Adjustments

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 be shifted to leave 5 minutes later to 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 ensure students have sufficient time to get to their morning classes. These routes now start 10 minutes earlier in the morning.

In addition, several schedule adjustments are being made to a number of routes to help delayed buses start and end their trips on time.

Additional stops have been added - northbound, eastbound and southbound - 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 will be in effect until November 2025.

More information about bus stop closures can be found on our Transit Alerts page.
