GMC T6H-5307N Posted June 13, 2014 Report Share Posted June 13, 2014 I went to the open house they had back in March. I understood it to be just a proposal, but due to recent info, it looks like the plan was given the go-ahead. It will be interesting to see the pre-2006 route 10 Pleasant Hill again. Interesting though, good idea to start a topic to talk about these new routes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
armorand Posted June 13, 2014 Report Share Posted June 13, 2014 I'm intrigued by this new Route 26! Seems to be promising. And knowing University Express bus routes here in Winnipeg, I'd definitely like to see how this one in Saskatoon turns out didn't see any mention of frequencies though.

j@den5766 Posted June 13, 2014 Author Report Share Posted June 13, 2014 I'm still waiting for the city to update the page. I really want to know when these changes are happening. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GMC T6H-5307N Posted June 13, 2014 Report Share Posted June 13, 2014 I talked with the manager, Bob Howe, and he said (back in March) that when they get the go-ahead from city council, they would try to start work on the routes in July and introduce them in September(?). I like how they are bringing back the route 23 Blairmore. It will be interesting to see how they route some of these new routes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GMC T6H-5307N Posted June 18, 2014 Report Share Posted June 18, 2014 That one 130, it's parked right behind the restored bus (that never gets used) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
j@den5766 Posted June 18, 2014 Author Report Share Posted June 18, 2014 If 371 is restored why don't they use it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GMC T6H-5307N Posted June 18, 2014 Report Share Posted June 18, 2014 Probably no point in using it. It won't make revenue, and SGI says it can't carry passengers anymore... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
