YKTransit Updates

Following the recent rebranding of Yellowknife Conventional Transit to YKTransit, the City of Yellowknife is excited to announce the launch of new routes, schedules and fare rates. Changes to Yellowknife’s transit system will take effect on October 1, 2024.

These new transit improvements are an outcome of the Yellowknife Public Transit Review and the YKTransit Realign projects, which focused on identifying challenges and opportunities with Yellowknife Transit and developing a clear and implementable plan for improving services. These enhancements will provide commuters with more direct and frequent routes, as well as improve accessibility.

New bus routes include the YK Connector, which offers service every 30 minutes to key destinations during peak hours. Stops along this route include the Stanton Territorial Hospital, Old Town, Ndilo, the Ruth Inch Memorial Pool and downtown. The YK Connector will also provide twice daily service on weekdays to the growing neighborhood of Kam Lake.

More information on the new bus routes, schedules, and fare rates can be found on our website. YKTransit will soon be switching over to the Passio GO! app, which will be used for real-time bus tracking. More details on the Passio GO! app will be communicated as the City works towards getting the app up and running.
