A plan to extend evening On-Request service is now before City Councillors. If approved, later hours would go into effect on December 14, 2025.
Since we revamped our bus system, we've heard a lot of feedback about a need for more evening service in some areas. In response, Council asked Transit to come up with options to improve evening service.
A full plan to extend evening service on select fixed routes starting in April is still in the works. But extending schedules for On-Request is less complicated and can be done faster, so we're sharing that aspect of the plan as soon as possible.
Subject to approval, here's what changes to On-Request will look like, come December 14:
- All zones that currently operate after 7 p.m. would extend service until around 2 a.m. on weekdays and Saturdays
- On Sundays and holidays, those zones would operate until around 12:45 a.m.
- Boundaries for Zone 103 would expand so passengers can take On-Request to Garden City Shopping Centre
The changes would go into effect on December 14, the first day of our winter schedule. Hours for daytime-only On-Request zones (104 and 110) would not change.
