Edmonton Riders will soon have 'super express' bus route
BY CONNECT NEWS, Aug 25, 2023 8:21 PM - REPORT AN ERRORThe Edmonton Transit Service is starting 'super express' bus service this fall from the Leger Transit Centre near the Terwillegar Community Recreation Centre to the University of Alberta.
"Students can get on this bus and get to university in 20, 25 minutes and from there connect to the LRT to go wherever they want to go," Mayor Amarjeet Sohi said while riding the new Route 31 during a media demonstration on Thursday promoting the new seasonal service, which will begin Sept. 5.
Construction to turn Terwillegar Drive into an expressway began two years ago. Crews are adding bus lanes, a shared-use path and upgraded intersections at either end of it.
The city's plan is to complete the bus lane on the corridor between Whitemud Drive and Anthony Henday Drive by next summer. The changes are a part of the city's plan to make taking transit more attractive to southwest resident.
