Every year, Saskatoon Transit partners with Saskatoon Folkfest to provide free transit service for ePassport holders. This year, the event runs from August 15 to 17. To enjoy free service, simply show a Folkfest ePassport or wristband to the bus operator when boarding.

For convenient travel, hop on Route 150. Service starts 20 minutes before Folkfest opening and connects to all pavilions every 20 minutes.

The Folkfest Bus Terminal serves as the main transfer point for Route 150 and is located on the south side of 23rd Street, facing east in front of the Francis Morrison Library. Additionally, routes 1 and 19 provide service to Prairieland Park, offering another easy option for Folkfest explorers.
