ETS Fall Service Changes

September is always busy at ETS as summer service levels are increased to meet the needs of customers returning to work and school.  We’re also bringing in changes we’ve planned for regular service.

More room on Route 8!

New articulated buses have been added to Route 8 to increase capacity for passengers.  We’ve made some schedule adjustments as a result.  Please check your route brochure for details. 

LRT

Starting in September, LRT will have 16 trains operating on an 80 minute round trip frequency during weekday peak times.  We have also increased early evening LRT frequency to provide service every 10 minutes.  As a result of these improvements, some bus schedules have been adjusted to improve transfers.

Improved Service

ETS has extended Route 78 and 79 to Century Park. This extension replaces Routes 92, 93 and 314 (Walker to Mill Woods), which have been cancelled. With these changes, we are able to provide residents of these areas with more direct service to Century Park and increased off-peak service.

We’ve improved weekday service in a number of neighbourhoods around the city.

  • New peak service has been added in Secord and Windermere.
  • New midday service in Cameron Heights, The Hamptons, Charlesworth, and the Northwest Industrial Area.
  • New early evening service in Silver Berry, Ellerslie Crossing, Tamarack, The Hamptons, Schonsee and Charlesworth.
  • New weekend service has been added in Silver Berry, Tamarack, Schonsee and Ellerslie Crossing.

ETS Fines Increase

City Council has approved increases to ETS fines in order to bring them in line with other transit properties across the country. 
•Fare evasion: $250
•Littering, vandalism, graffiti and nuisance/disruptive behaviour: $250
