- Starting at 6 p.m., Metro Line trains will run from Kingsway/Royal Alex to Government Centre stations. To access University or Health Sciences/Jubilee stations, riders can transfer to the Capital Line.
- From 6 to 8 p.m., trains will run from Kingsway/Royal Alex to Health Sciences Jubilee stations.
- From 8 p.m. to end of service, Metro Line trains will return to their regular schedule between Health Sciences/Jubilee and NAIT/Blatchford Market stations.
- Trains will run at a 15-minute frequency all day.
On July 14, Metro Line trains will run between NAIT/Blatchford Market and Government Centre stations until 6 p.m. and the Metro Line will resume regular service from NAIT/Blachford to Health Sciences/Jubilee stations
Replacement bus service will only be available on July 13 between Kingsway/Royal Alex and NAIT/Blatchford Market stations. Buses will run every 15 minutes.
