More buses, increased frequency coming to Saskatoon

Transit riders in Saskatoon will see some improvements this fall as the city adds more buses and increases the frequency of popular routes.

The first phase starts on Sunday, when the city increases the frequency of routes 4, 43, 44, 45 and 46 in the areas of Evergreen, Willowgrove, Arbor Creek and 115th Street, while also increasing frequency on Route 17 from Stonebridge to the University of Saskatchewan.

Using larger, articulated buses on routes 10 and 43 will increase capacity by up to 50 per cent, the city noted, while the new Route 340 will replace Route 338 for students at Holy Cross and Walter Murray high schools.
