Saskatoon Transit warns riders to expect possible delays and cancellations – Saskatoon | The Canadian News

A number of factors could cause possible delays or cancellations over the coming days for Saskatoon Transit users.

Saskatoon Transit announced in a news release on Thursday that cold temperatures are affecting its buses. Due to a lack of spare parts and delays in partial shipments due to the COVID-19 pandemic, it is also experiencing a shortage of buses.

“Saskatoon Transit is doing everything they can to provide service and it is difficult to know in advance which routes will be affected or canceled,” Saskatoon Transit said on Thursday.

“Once decisions are made, service alerts are issued to ensure riders have the information they need.”

Riders are encouraged to look for service alerts and real-time bus information on the Saskatoon Transit app or by visiting Google Maps Transit on a PC or mobile device.

Officials add that customers can also experience longer waiting times than usual on request, and should expect delays in their booked ride and should continue to check their pick-up time on the application.

Saskatoon Transit also reminds people to make sure they get dressed for the weather and stay abreast of weather conditions that could affect buses.
