The redesigned bus network was launched on April 25, 2021. It is designed to better connect riders through more direct and frequent routes.
When we developed the Transit Strategy, Edmontonians told us they wanted a bus system that better met their needs. Here is what else we heard:
- Edmontonians want a transit system that is safe, fast, convenient and reliable
- Different people want different things from their transit system
- People in the inner neighbourhoods (between 50 Street and 170 Street and Yellowhead Trail and Whitemud Drive) want more frequent service, service at all times of day and 7 days a week
- People in the outer neighbourhoods want more frequent service, shorter travel times, and prefer weekday peak service
Based on local knowledge and technical expertise, we developed a bus network to better serve Edmontonians.
Note: regional routes operated by our municipal partners were not part of the bus network redesign.
