Winter Service Changes
We review our bus routes and schedules throughout the year to see if there are areas where we can improve service. Several factors are taken into consideration - including feedback from our customers and drivers, ridership levels, and changing traffic patterns - to ensure we’re meeting the needs of Calgarians.
This winter will see changes to schedules that will improve schedule adherence and efficiency. There will also be changes to several routes to provide better connections, help balance our overall service, and move us toward the goals outlined in RouteAhead, our 30-year planning guide. See ‘Route Changes’ section below.
The Winter Service Changes come into effect on Monday, December 22.
