SASKATOON — Saskatoon Transit continues to experience delays or cancellations because of cold temperatures affecting buses and lack of spare parts or delays in the shipment of parts due to the pandemic, which in turn causes bus shortages.
Saskatoon Transit advises it is difficult to tell in advance which routes will be affected or cancelled. As soon as decisions are made, service alerts are issued to ensure riders have the information they need.
On-Demand customers may also experience longer wait times than normal. Passengers are advised to expect delays in booked rides and to check the pick-up time on the app.
Bus users should also check for service alerts and real-time bus information on the transit app or Google Maps Transit before leaving to catch the bus.
To receive push notifications of these alerts mark routes as “favourite” in the app. Service alerts can also be found at SaskatoonTransit.ca/service-alerts or on Twitter @stoontransit or by calling our Customer Service Centre at 306-975-3100.
Winter reminders:
- At temperatures of -20C and below, buses do not kneel, however the ramp at the front can still be deployed. Ask for it to be deployed should it be required.
- Stay up to date on weather conditions.
- Dress for the weather. Wear comfortable, loose-fitting layers.
