Bus Network Redesign

Main page content begins here

Edmonton’s new bus network connects you to where you need to go on more direct routes.

When we developed the Transit Strategy, Edmontonians told us they wanted a bus system that better met their needs. Here is what else we heard:

Edmontonians want a transit system that is safe, fast, convenient and reliable
Different people want different things from their transit system
People in the inner neighbourhoods (between 50 Street and 170 Street and Yellowhead Trail and Whitemud Drive) want more frequent service, service at all times of day and 7 days a week
People in the outer neighbourhoods want more frequent service, shorter travel times, and prefer weekday peak service

Based on local knowledge and technical expertise, we developed a new bus network to better serve Edmontonians.

Please note: regional routes are not part of the bus network redesign. Any changes to routes operated by our municipal partners will be communicated by them.

Frequently Asked Questions

When will bus shelters be moved and will my bus stop get a shelter?

We will not be putting shelters at new locations for at least a year after the bus network launch. This will allow us time to remove existing shelters from closed or low use locations, as well as determine which are the higher use stops that need one. More than 450 shelters will be moved, so this will take 2-3 years to complete.

What is ETS' plan for bus service until the Valley Line Southeast opens?

Route 73A and 73B are similar to the Valley Line Southeast path and stop at Davies Transit Centre. Routes that will serve Davies Transit Centre and Station will be altered slightly until the Valley Line is open.
