The City of Yellowknife (the City) is pleased to announce that the new YKFlex vehicle fleet officially begins service on Friday, December 6, 2024.

The YKFlex vehicles will replace the previous Yellowknife Accessible Transit System (YATS), and maintain the same specialized transit service YATS offered but with increased comfort and safety. YKFlex will continue to provide door-to-accessible door service for registered users who are unable to board, ride, or disembark the fixed route transit system with safety and dignity due to a temporary or permanent physical or functional disability.

In addition to the YKFlex vehicles, this year YKTransit introduced a new fleet of conventional buses, which are also wheelchair accessible. As of April 2024, for the first time in Yellowknife, all transit buses can accommodate passengers with reduced mobility.

More information on the features of the YKFlex buses as well as how to access this service can be found on our website.
