Schedule changes to ETS bus service, six routes affected

In an effort to optimize service and connections, ETS mid-winter bus service changes take effect Sunday, February 7, 2016.

The City of Edmonton is encouraging riders to check the schedules for routes 8, 9, 39, 100, 117 and 125 online using the ETS Trip Planner or by calling 311.

Schedule changes are as follows:

• All weekday trips on route 117 departing from Lewis Farms Transit Centre between 8:50 a.m. and 5:50 p.m. leave three minutes earlier.
• Route 100 will have two new departures from Lewis Farms Transit Centre at 6:47 a.m. and 7:47 a.m.
• The route 39 trip departing 117 Street and Rutherford Road at 5:10 a.m. will depart three minutes earlier at 5:07 a.m. in order to provide a better connection to the LRT at Century Park.
• Routes 8, 9 and 125 have schedule changes in the afternoon peak between 3 p.m. and 6 p.m. to improve travel time and reduce wait times at bus stops.
• Route 331 will now be served by two community buses, running at the same time for most trips, in order to balance customer demand with construction in the area.

ETS adjusts bus routes five times a year in response to customer feedback and to optimize service delivery.
