Beginning Thursday, July 7 Access Transit will shift, reduce or temporarily cancel some service over the next three weeks.
Access Transit is adjusting service to temporarily reduce service levels based on available resources. While ridership continues to return to pre-pandemic levels, Saskatoon Transit took a balanced and careful approach with an eye on preserving as much service as possible.
Reduced service will take effect starting on July 7 with the aim to begin adding back service hours in August if resources allow.
Please continue to book trips 3 days in advance as early as 9:00 a.m. to avoid possible denials.
Saskatoon Transit thanks riders for their patience and understanding.
