Lethbridge Transit updates routes to better serve growing neighbourhoods

Lethbridge Transit is making changes to bus routes around the city thanks to feedback from riders. The updated routes will take effect next Wednesday, June 25, and aim to improve the connection to growing neighbourhoods across the city. 

“We’ve been reviewing feedback and data to understand where we can tweak the routes to provide the most benefit for riders,” says Darwin Juell, General Manager of Transit & Transportation. “Buses are getting busier, and these changes will improve connectivity for areas of increasing demand while balancing operational priorities like travel time and on-time performance.” 

Beginning Wednesday, June 25: 

• 1 Gold will no longer access West Highlands Station via Walsh Drive. Instead, it will turn left from University Drive onto Garry Drive, then right onto Highlands Boulevard, and right again onto Highlands Road to reach West Highlands Station. 
• 1 Gold and 2 Blue will have increased frequency Monday to Friday from 7 a.m. to 9:30 a.m., to address overcrowding and improve on-time performance. 
• 51 Red Crow will no longer turn right onto Garry Drive to access West Highlands Station. The revised route will be extended along Métis Trail, reintroducing fixed-route service to the Country Meadows area. 
  • The West Highlands daytime On-Demand zone will be redrawn to align with the new 51 Red Crow route. The zone’s northern boundary is now defined by Garry Drive. Evening and Sunday boundaries remain unchanged. 
• 4 Orange will operate bidirectionally between Crossings Station and Southgate Station. Significant routing changes will occur through Lakeview and 20 Avenue South areas, customers in these neighborhoods are advised to review the new routing carefully.  
  • The northern boundary of the Southgate On-Demand zone will be extended to 24 Avenue South. 
• 60C Stafford Drive will be extended north along 26 Avenue North, with service terminating at Sherring Station. 

These changes are part of Lethbridge Transit’s ongoing efforts to improve reliability, expand coverage and respond to rider feedback.
