Starting June 15, ETS will resume fare collection on buses, LRT and DATS. Customers should board the bus through the front door starting June 15. From June 15 ...to 30, customers that have a March, April or July monthly transit pass can use that pass as payment. Those without a pass can use cash, tickets, valid transfers and family/day passes as payment. Please visit takeETS.com for up-to-date information. To help everyone stay safe and healthy on transit, when possible, wear a mask/face covering & travel during off-peak times.

I have 1 kit left! If there is a need I can email for more.

We have a few capital city clean up kits. If you’re wanting one send us a message, we’ll drop off to your door step. Let’s make Balwin beautiful!!

BREAKING: City owned playgrounds are shut down to the public, and spray parks will not open as scheduled. Sledding hills are also being shut down early. No mor...e maintenance of cross-country skill trails. Picnic tables are also being removed. River valley and trails remain open, but follow hygiene and social distancing.

UPDATE MARCH 17: Our top priority is the health and safety of Edmontonians. We are listening to customers and their concerns about reduced service causing overc...rowding on some routes. ETS is making immediate adjustments to Saturday schedule, adding more buses during peak times. Between 6-9am and 3-6pm, buses will be added for Routes 1, 2, 4, 5, 6, 8, 9, 15, 17, and 112. Buses will be added on ten routes (16 Express, 80, 83, 84, 92, 95, 122, 137, 182 and 331) that have weekday service but do not have service on Saturday. For more details please visit: https://www.edmonton.ca/ets/reduced-transit-service.aspx ****** COVID-19 update: Changes to transit Effective Tuesday, March 17, transit services will be reduced across the city from normal weekday levels to Saturday service levels. ETS is moving to the Saturday schedule seven days a week. Transit users are encouraged to change their trip planner dates to Saturday. ETS is working to update schedules online. All school service routes will be cancelled. If we reduce the number of buses and LRT on our city streets, we can further increase the level of cleaning and disinfecting taking place on these critical services that Edmontonians rely on, said Mayor Don Iveson, Our number one priority is ensuring the safety of Edmontonians and City employees during these trying times. We understand that this is a difficult time right now for Edmontonians, said Adam Laughlin, Interim City Manager. We are continuing to work closely with Alberta Health Services to understand how we can better ensure the safety of our operators and customers, while still providing a daily service that people rely on. There is no change to DATS service at this time and regular operation will continue. The reduced service schedule will also allow ETS to better protect transit operators. All buses remaining in service will have bus shields, allowing more effective distancing for operators and for customers. Updated information about transit service can be found at takeets.com. General information about the City of Edmonton’s response to COVID-19 is available at edmonton.ca/covid-19.
