Prince Albert Transit is operating with temporary schedule adjustments on September 25, 2026, affecting service on the West Flat, East Hill and Core Express routes. While most of the city’s transit network continues to operate on its regular timetable, passengers using the affected routes are being advised to review departure times before travelling.
The West Flat and East Hill buses are both operating hourly from the downtown transfer station, while the Core Express is not operating for the day. All other transit routes remain on their scheduled service.
West Flat Bus Operating on Hourly Schedule
The West Flat bus is running once per hour on September 25. According to the service update, buses on the route are leaving the downtown transfer station at 15 minutes past each hour.
The temporary timetable means passengers who normally use the West Flat service may need to adjust their travel plans around the hourly departures. Riders connecting with other Prince Albert Transit routes should also take the revised timing into account when planning transfers downtown.
The notice did not specify a reason for the adjusted West Flat schedule or indicate whether regular service is expected to resume later in the day.
East Hill Departures Set for 45 Minutes Past the Hour
Service on the East Hill route is also operating hourly. East Hill buses are scheduled to leave the downtown transfer station at 45 minutes past each hour.
The separate departure times for West Flat and East Hill provide riders with clear hourly departure points from the city’s central transfer location. Passengers travelling to or from areas served by these routes should allow additional time for their trips because of the reduced frequency.
The schedule remains in effect unless Prince Albert Transit issues a further revision.
Core Express Not in Service
The Core Express bus is not operating on September 25, making it the most significant service change announced in the update.
Passengers who would normally rely on the Core Express will need to use other available transit routes where possible. The service notice does not provide an expected time for the route to return to operation.
Aside from the West Flat, East Hill and Core Express changes, all other Prince Albert Transit routes are operating according to their regular schedules.
For residents who rely on public transportation for work, appointments, shopping and other daily activities, checking current service information before leaving can help reduce disruptions caused by temporary route or timetable changes.
Passengers Advised to Monitor Transit Updates
Prince Albert Transit is directing passengers to check its latest information for current transit routes and schedules. The city has also indicated that additional changes will be communicated when updated information becomes available.
The notice states: “Any revisions to this schedule will be published as soon as we have that information. Until then, the above schedule will be in effect.”
For September 25, passengers should therefore plan around hourly West Flat departures at 15 minutes past the hour and hourly East Hill departures at 45 minutes past the hour. The Core Express remains out of service, while the remainder of the Prince Albert transit network continues to operate as scheduled.
The temporary arrangements underline the importance of checking current transit information before beginning a trip, particularly for passengers who depend on connections through the downtown transfer station.
