Public Transport in Saskatoon

Introduction

Saskatoon's public transportation system is based on a network of city buses.
Each route is identified by a unique number, and buses stop only at designated bus stops.

How to use the system:

  1. Wait at an official bus stop.
  2. When you see the bus approaching, slightly raise your hand to signal the driver that you wish to board.
  3. Once on board, either pay your fare or show your transit pass.

Note: You can only board or exit the bus at official bus stops.

Fares and Payment Methods

  • Cash Payment: Pay the exact fare (coins or small bills) into the fare box upon boarding. Per trip: approx. $3.00 CAD
  • Monthly Transit Pass: Purchase a monthly pass for unlimited rides. Adult pass: approx. $83.00 CAD per month.
  • Electronic Ticket: Use the Transit Go mobile app to buy digital tickets.

Cash payments: Must be made with exact change — bus drivers do not provide change. With a cash fare, you can use the transit system for up to one hour (including transfers to other buses).
