The city of Saskatoon is making adjustments when it comes to transit during the COVID-19 pandemic.

The number of riders able to board buses has been reduced to enable physical distancing while seated or moving to the door. When a bus is full, it will display “Full Bus” and pass by those waiting until passengers are dropped off. Onboard announcements may be made throughout the trip to remind riders of these measures.

Saskatoon Transit has also reduced Monday to Friday service to the regular Saturday service schedule. Additional buses will be provided by re-deploying peak hour, university and school services.

Public health authorities have recommended wearing face covering as a measure to reduce the transmission of COVID-19, and Saskatoon transit is encouraging riders to do so when using their services.
