Transit users can look forward to more reliable bus schedules effective immediately. The additional, recently acquired, transit buses are now in operation, and all six routes are operating as normally scheduled. Live GPS tracking is now available on all buses.

In case of emergency shortages, a mitigation plan has been made that allows for hourly transit service. This is done to maximize service to all locations in the City.
The Rush Hour route (the pink line on the map) has been changed, effective August 30th, 2022. This change expands coverage for existing riders and further accommodates high school students from the Saskatchewan Rivers Public School Division. High School students will rely on City Transit to get to school this coming fall. Benefits of this route modification include:
- Expanded service on Central Avenue and 28th Street East. This improves transportation to local businesses, schools, and residential properties.
- It will improve service capacity at Carlton Comprehensive High School (3 Buses rather than 2).
- Reduced travel time from the Transfer Station to Carlton Comprehensive High School (8 minutes instead of 19 minutes).
- If a bus is removed from service and only five are available, there will still be two buses servicing Carlton every half an hour.
To promote the City’s Transit service and welcome the new riders and the new transit fleet, Prince Albert Transit is offering free City Transit on Thursday, September 1st, 2022.
This promotion will allow students of all ages to try City Transit for free to start the school year. High School Student subsidized bus passes are available at Carlton, St. Mary’s, Wesmor, and Prince Albert Collegiate Institute for $20 a month.
The new route map and Transit updates are posted on the City’s website at https://www.citypa.ca/en/parking-streets-and-transportation/transit.aspx.
