Edmonton Transit Service (ETS) provides public transportation throughout Edmonton, combining light rail transit with an extensive bus network designed to connect residential neighbourhoods with downtown, universities, and employment centres.

Key Features of Edmonton Transit Service

  • Light Rail Transit (LRT): Edmonton’s expanding LRT system includes multiple lines connecting downtown with northern, southern, and southeastern areas of the city.

  • Bus Network: A redesigned bus network emphasizes frequent routes and neighbourhood feeder service connecting riders to LRT stations.

  • Service Times: Transit generally operates from early morning until after midnight daily, with limited overnight service on select routes.

  • Accessibility: All LRT trains and most buses are low-floor and fully accessible, with accessible stations across the rail system.

  • Technology: Riders can use ETS trip-planning tools, real-time tracking apps, and smart fare payment options for convenient travel.

  • Coverage: The system serves residential communities, downtown Edmonton, major shopping districts, educational institutions, and industrial employment areas.

  • Edmonton continues transitioning toward a “bus feeder and rail spine” model as LRT expansions extend transit access into growing suburban neighbourhoods.
