Roam Into the Fall 2020 – Service Update
Roam Public Transit will begin its fall/winter service on Monday, Sept. 14. We’ve made schedule changes to routes after analyzing ridership data from the last several months, so here’s what you need to know:
Service Update
• In Banff, we will continue to operate the existing detour until Banff Avenue reopens to vehicles, which is tentatively set for after Sept. 18
Banff Local (Route 1 and 2)
• 40-minute frequency and service will start at 6:30 a.m. and run until approximately 11 p.m.
• To maintain end of day service despite significantly reduced ridership, adjustments have been made to the later evening departures to combine Route 1 and 2 into a hybrid route (i.e. single bus) and will run the entire length of both routes
• Here is the Route 1 Fall 2020 Schedule
• Here is the Route 2 Fall 2020 Schedule
Canmore-Banff Regional (Route 3) on weekdays
• 60-minute frequency in the morning and 35-minute frequency during afternoon peak times starting at 3:30 p.m. Low current and anticipated ridership levels in the morning have eliminated the requirement for morning peak additional frequency for the near future
• This will continue to be evaluated throughout the fall and winter
• Here is the Route 3 Fall 2020 Schedule
Canmore-Banff Regional (Route 3) on weekends
• 60-minute frequency in the morning and 70-minute frequency in the afternoon starting at 3:30 p.m. to ensure adequate travel time with increased traffic and construction activity
