Transit Services Expanded to Yard District Jan 2

The City of Prince Albert is expanding transit services to The Yard district to enhance transportation options across our growing community. Starting January 2, 2025, the All-Day Express Bus will offer transportation to The Yard and the Lake Country Co-op Leisure Centre Monday through Saturday.

The expansion of the All-Day Express route ensures regular daily transportation to The Yard district for families, students, and professionals. The expanded route will stop in The Yard every half hour Monday through Saturday. This expanded route is being offered in addition to the Core Express, which offers transportation to The Yard on weekdays.

The All-Day Express bus offers transit service at several stops in downtown Prince Albert and along 6Avenue West, Marquis Road, 6 Avenue East, and 15 Street East. This route continues to see increased ridership and currently averages just over 1,600 riders per week.

“We are excited to see the continuing growth in The Yard and want to ensure essential transportation options are available to connect residents to the new Lake Co-op Leisure Centre and other businesses as the area continues to grow,” said Anna Dinsdale, Community Safety and Well-Being Manager with the City of Prince Albert. “Having affordable public transit options to all areas of our community ensures residents have reliable access to services and recreation opportunities and helps reduce barriers to employment that can impact individuals and families.”

Information about transit times and locations is available by visiting the City of Prince Albert online. Residents can plan their trip in real-time to see when their bus will arrive by going to https://transitlivepa.com/.

Additionally, the transit route to Little Red River Park is being discontinued at the end of this month. The route was started earlier this year as a trial, but did not garner the ridership expected during the trial period. The City is working with partners to explore ways to support access to Little Red River Park for those without transport.

The last date for the Little Red River Park transit route will be December 28, 2024.
