Changes to Prince Albert Transit Fares

The City of Prince Albert is announcing its transit fare structure updates, effective Sunday, September 1^st. This is the first fare adjustment since January 2019 (almost 6 years) and reflects the City's ongoing commitment to maintaining and improving public transportation services. The new transit fares remain among the lowest in Saskatchewan for all user groups. 

Notable Changes to Transit Fares:

• All Cash Fares: Now $3.00 per ride.

• Children Under 10: Now ride FREE with a parent or guardian (previously Under 5).
• Youth (Ages 14-18): Monthly passes have been slightly reduced from $55.50 to $55.00. Please note that in previous years, the School Divisions and the City provided subsidies to lower student costs. The City now sells these passes to schools, and the schools may offer further subsidies. Students are encouraged to check with their schools for additional savings.
• Child Under 14 Monthly Passes: $40.00.
