Saskatoon

Sasktoon Transit (http://www.saskatoon.ca/o...) serves most of the city. Both regular and express DART service is provided. Most buses go through the downtown terminal and it is very easy to get anywhere in the city from this terminal, located between 2nd and 3rd Avenue on 23rd Street. Timetables for every bus can be found at the downtown terminal or online (http://www.city.saskatoon...). At outlying stops, call the 'Phone & Go' line 975-7500 and use the 4-digit stop code to determine information about the routes that service that stop.

Saskatoon is a very bicycling friendly city and boasts the second highest per capita commuter cycling rate in Canada. Recreational cyclists will enjoy exploring the Meewasin Valley Trail along the South Saskatchewan River. Almost all parts of the city are accessible by bicycle and bicycle lanes and routes are marked along some key corridors... be careful because there are also a lot of bad drivers.

Walking is also a great way to get around Saskatoon. If your accommodation is in or close to the Downtown, you will be within walking distance to Saskatoon's best shopping, educational and cultural attractions.

Taxis are easy to find but generally pricey. A ten minute drive enough to get you most places in the city if it's not rush hour will cost $10-15. Call Blueline at 653-3333 or Radio at 242-1221, or just hail a taxi. Prices are set by the city so the cost should be equal.

All told, however, Saskatoon is a relatively compact city and outside of rush hour it's easily possible to drive across the city in 15 minutes or less. A traffic armageddon that had been predicted with the permanent closure of the Traffic Bridge one of four road bridges into downtown did not occur. The city is expected to soon complete the Circle Drive ring road system, a project that has been constructed in bits and pieces over the last half century.
