Edmonton’s new bus network connects you to where you need to go on more direct routes.
To plan a trip, enter your travel date, time, start and end locations below. You can also download and print route brochures.
You can use the third-party Transit app to plan trips that include transfers to/from On Demand (Google tools do not support this service).
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.
New route brochures available for new routes.
On Demand Transit complements regular bus service so more Edmontonians can get to where they need to go conveniently and safely.
To support the new bus network redesign, every bus stop has a new sign.
In the new bus network, many schools are served by regular ETS routes. There are extra trips on some routes that are timed for students.
The new route numbers will help transit users understand its purpose and where it’s going. This means every single bus route has a new path. Even routes with familiar numbers were adjusted, so double check the routes and schedules before you go to the bus stop.
Edmonton last redesigned its entire bus network in the late 1990s and our community has changed a lot since then. The new bus network is an important step in modernizing Edmonton’s transit system in preparation for growing our city to 2 million people. It also provides the transit service that Edmontonians tell us they want today: safe, fast,
convenient and reliable.
In most cases, old bus route numbers will be in a white box in Google Maps. Current (new) routes are in a coloured box. It is anticipated old bus route numbers will disappear from Google Maps around mid-May. There is no impact to trip plans using Google Maps.
Yes. City Council approved the new bus network on November 26, 2019.
The new routes will be reviewed after one to two years to ensure they are working as intended and meeting customers' needs.
Almost every bus route is new, and routes are straighter with less overlap.
These changes will provide more direct, more frequent and efficient service.
Residents in central areas of the city can expect to see an increase in service throughout the day, while those in suburban areas will see an increase in service during peak times for commuters.
Routes were planned based on:
Many routes were straightened and some duplicate routes were combined.
This increase in efficiency means ETS can provide better service overall across the network through more frequent buses and expanded service on evenings and weekends.
The new bus network is designed to move residents across the city more efficiently.
Wait times are anticipated to be shorter when transferring into the frequent network.
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.
Express buses will travel frequently along a route that closely matches the Valley Line Southeast path and will stop at existing transit centres (Millgate and Mill Woods) until the new transit centres (Davies and a new transit centre at Mill Woods) are open. Routes that serve the new transit centres and LRT stops will be altered slightly until the Valley Line is open.
