To help transit customers adjust to the route changes, the RDN is rolling out the changes in stages over the next few months. Changes will be noted on this alerts page once in place. Notable upcoming route changes include:

• Route 50 will no longer be interlined with Route 7 Cinnabar/Downtown at all times of the day due to plans to transition the 50 into a rapid line in January 2025.
• More Route 20 Hammond Bay/Dover Bay trips will go through the Country Club Exchange, with reduced connections at Brooks Landing to the Route 1 Country Club/Downtown.
• Route 30 will change slightly on September 24 and will no longer connect between Rosstown Road and Bowen Road. Instead, it will cross over Bowen Road and onto Meredith Road and service along the new connector, Powder Works Road.

Adverse Weather Routing

During adverse weather, many factors can impact bus routes such as accidents, detours and changing road conditions. To ensure the safety of passengers, drivers and the general public, bus routes are changed as needed. Changes to routes can happen many times over the course of an adverse weather event and every effort is made to update transit users as information becomes available. Please visit this webpage for the latest bus route information and impacts to services.
