Saskatoon Transit

Saskatoon Transit is the public transport arm of the City of Saskatoon, Saskatchewan, Canada. It operates a fleet of diesel buses. A total of 23 bus routes serve every area of the city, carrying approximately 11 million passengers in 2008.〔(Saskatoon Transit Unveils New Smart Card System, Dec 2009 ). 〕 Saskatoon Transit is a member of the Canadian Urban Transit Association. The major bus terminal is located Downtown.
==History==
Saskatoon Transit was initially known as Saskatoon Municipal Railway and began operating on January 1, 1913 with a fleet of streetcars.〔David A. Wyatt, (Transit History of Saskatoon, Saskatchewan ), 1989–2007.〕〔City of Saskatoon Archives. (Significant Dates: A Saskatoon Chronology ), 1999–2006.〕 Service as far as Sutherland began in 1914 when it was still a separate village.〔 The servicing garage was (and remains) located in the Caswell Hill neighbourhood, on the north side of 24th Street between Avenues C and D. (A second garage now faces it across 24th Street.)
The central transfer point for most bus routes has always been the block of 23rd Street between 2nd and 3rd Avenues and the neighbouring corners on 2nd and 3rd Avenues. In 1984, this block was permanently closed to regular traffic and a "Transit Terminal" constructed, consisting of widened sidewalks, heated shelters, and angled curbs to provide three "bays" on each side of the block. The 23rd Street Transit Terminal was opened on November 2, 1984.〔 This terminal area is perceived by many as unsafe, and most of the businesses along this block have relocated; however, Saskatoon Transit has made some recent improvements, including a constant security guard presence and a Customer Service Centre where tickets, passes and schedules may be obtained. The 2005 Strategic Plan Study recommended that major improvements be carried out to the downtown terminal, but no changes have been made.
Diesel buses supplemented the streetcar service from at least 1938. In the 1940s a decision was made to replace streetcar service with trolley buses; the first trolley bus ran on November 22, 1948, starting a three-year transition period, and the last streetcar ran on November 10, 1951. With the demise of the streetcars, Saskatoon Municipal Railway was renamed Saskatoon Transit System on August 15, 1949. The trolley buses were in turn phased out and ran for the last time on May 10, 1974.〔
Although the official name is now Saskatoon Transit Services (as of 1998), it is generally known simply as ''Saskatoon Transit'', which is what appears on their Web page, logo, and all their brochures.
Two of the original Saskatoon streetcars are on display and being restored at the Saskatchewan Railway Museum.
