South Macleod Route Review
We’re proposing some changes to bus routes in the area, to improve their coverage and efficiency. Right now, some of the routes provide duplicate service in some areas, while other parts of the community don’t have enough service. These proposed changes are intended to ensure our bus routes are meeting your needs by providing the right amount of service in the right areas of the community.
The routes that will be impacted by the proposed changes are:
- Route 11 - Southwest Loop
- Route 12 - Southwest Loop
- Route 15 - Millrise
- Route 78 - Sundance/Chaparral
- Route 402 - Silverado
- Route 167 - Walden/Legacy
- Route 168 - Walden/Legacy
- Route 178 - Sundance/Chaparral
- Route 444 - Chaparral Valley/Walden
Please take a look at our proposed changes below and then complete our survey before September 9. Your feedback will be used to determine whether we’re headed in the right direction with our proposed route changes, or if we should make changes.
