Google Transit

Google’s trip planning feature is an enhancement to the existing means of providing information to Edmonton Transit riders. It operates using the same scheduling data used by the ETS Trip Planner, but presents it in the traditional Google format that is familiar to so many people – a great advantage for visitors to our city! Trip plan results include a Google map showing the transit trip, departure times, bus stop locations, transfer information, and walking route details. It’s easy to email the Google transit trip plan too.

Transit on Google Maps is available on mobile devices (such as iPhone, BlackBerry, Android, Windows Mobile etc.) putting trip planning right in the palm of your hand. And, Google Maps supports multiple languages, so it’s easy for international users.

Note: The Capital Line LRT shows up as the Route 501.
