Escalator Replacements at Central Station

Until spring 2026, crews will be working to replace the concourse to street-level escalator at Central Station. Please use the stairs to access/leave the station during this time.

LRT Replacement Service

When the LRT is experiencing difficulties due to unforeseen circumstances and may be unable to provide service to every stop, ETS provides replacement service with buses to ensure riders are still able to reach their destination.

The following information is meant to assist passengers when using LRT replacement service. Replacement service often takes the same routes, but accidents, detours and other obstacles may cause the Bus Replacement Service routes to change.

When searching for the correct stop to wait at when replacement service is in place, look for the bus stop signs that list "LRT Replacement".

The buses will also say LRT Replacement Service, followed by the final destination (such as Century Park, Downtown, Clareview, NAIT).

ETS Cold Weather Response

ETS Cold Weather service comes into effect when commuters are faced with extreme winter weather. We define extreme weather conditions as -20 Celsius including windchill.

When temperatures reach -20 celsius, ETS buses no longer kneel to prevent buses from freezing in the kneeling position, thus putting the bus out of service and requiring a replacement bus.

Learn more about the City's Extreme Weather Response.

Cold Weather Express Bus Service

ETS Express buses, except for routes 31, 130X, 560, 700X, 747, 900X, 920X are instructed to stop for riders at all bus stops on their routes in extreme weather conditions (colder than minus 20 degrees Celsius, including windchill).

The decision to stop at all bus stops is made by the ETS Control Centre on an ‘as required’ basis.

Please dress for the weather, as buses are part of the traffic flow and are affected by road and weather conditions too.
