Transit Service Changes

Five times each year, ETS reviews rider feedback, schedules, service levels and routes to ensure we’re providing the right amount of service at the right time. Starting August 31, various bus routes will have some service changes, to reflect typical summer ridership patterns.

ETS will be reassigning the following bus bays:

Mill Woods Transit Centre:
- Route 509A will move from Bay O (#3915) to Bay F (#3906)
- Route 509B will move from Bay P (#3916) to Bay E (#3905)

Century Park Transit Centre:
- Route 662 will move from Bay I (#4209) to Bay L (#4212)

Route 2 Owl - 84 Street at Stadium Transit Centre will be converted to southbound-only traffic and Route 2-Owl Clareview and Century Park will run counterclockwise. Both directions will serve Stadium Transit Centre Bay F (#1407) and will no longer use Bay G (#1408).

Route 150X - Route 150X will have its service extended further north into the Rapperswill/Canossa neighbourhoods. This will increase access to Downtown and provide better transit to the new St. Carlo Acutis Catholic High School. Detours will be in effect for the new routing during Dunluce construction until Fall 2026.

Route 516 - Route 516 will now use 17 Street and 19 Avenue. This change is to bring service closer to the Aster neighbourhood. On Demand Stops at 17 Street and 19 Avenue will be replaced with conventional transit.

School Special Changes

Northside school specials are seeing significant changes due to the opening of St. Carlo Acutis Catholic High School and ongoing construction along 132 Avenue at Archbishop O’Leary Catholic High School.

The following school specials will see major route adjustments:

The following school specials will see minor route adjustments:

633, 634, 636, 647, 664 and 683

The following schools specials will be cancelled due to low ridership and/or changing ridership patterns:

624, 632, 637, 643, 644, 645, and 676

To replace the cancellation of Route 522 (Capliano/Gold Bar) in June 2026, Route 632 is being established between Capliano Transit Centre and Vimy Ridge Academy, following a similar route to the former Route 522.
