Saturday On-Demand Transit Service Starting in Stony Plain on January 4

Stony Plain, AB

Starting January 4, Stony Plain residents will have access to on-demand transit service on Saturdays, providing a new level of convenience and accessibility for local travel. The addition of Saturday service aligns with the Town’s commitment to expanding transit options as outlined in the recently approved 2025-2027 Corporate Plan.

The on-demand transit service will operate from 8:00 AM to 10:00 PM every Saturday. Trips can be booked through the same weekday methods: the Pick-Up On-Demand app, online, or by calling 780-962-8747 (between 6 AM to 7 PM) and the fares are the same.

"Expanding transit service to include Saturdays is a significant milestone for Stony Plain,” says Mayor William Choy. “This initiative addresses the needs of our growing community by providing reliable transportation options for residents, whether they are commuting to work, attending events, or running errands. We are proud to bring this service to life as part of our vision for an inclusive and connected community."

Manager of Programs and Services, Jerry George, emphasizes the practical benefits of Saturday service, "On-demand transit has been well-received by residents for its convenience and flexibility. Adding Saturday service will further enhance accessibility, offering residents a dependable option for local travel and helping to connect our community and region."

During weekdays, the on-demand local transit service operates from 5 AM to 7 PM within Stony Plain and Spruce Grove with service to Parkland Village and Acheson between 5 AM to 9 AM and 2:15 PM to 6:15 PM. Saturday on-demand local transit service is available only within Stony Plain and Spruce Grove limits.
