Saskatoon Transit and SGI have again partnered to offer free evening bus service on New Year’s Eve.

Free fare service will be available on Tuesday, December 31, from 7 p.m. to 3 a.m. on January 1; times vary slightly by route. Registered Access Transit customers can also reserve free service until 2:30 a.m. SGI partners with local transportation agencies in Regina, Moose Jaw, Prince Albert, and Saskatoon to help minimize the occurrence of driving while under the influence.

Everyone is encouraged to think about using a variety of transportation modes on busy nights like New Year’s Eve. Plan your trip before heading out using the real-time mobile app Transit App or Google Maps Transit. Multi-modal options are available to seamlessly integrate trips with Riide or Uber with Transit+. By combining transportation modes wait times and costs can be minimized.

Take Transit on New Year's Eve for a safer, easier ride. Enjoy free service and leave the driving to a bus—no car, no cost, no worries!
