Route Categories and Colours

The number series of a route allows riders to quickly understand the role of the route. 

Primary Routes (100 Series)

• Represented by the colour blue 
• Travel along highways and arterial roads
• Connect key activity hubs
• Work as a grid system
  

Secondary Routes (200 Series)

• Represented by the colour purple
• Additional grid routes to fill gaps between primary routes
• Offer many transfer points to primary routes 

Local Routes (300 Series)

• Represented by the colour green
• Connect neighbourhood residents to key destinations to transfer to primary routes

Express Routes (400 and 500 Series)

• Represented by the colour orange
• Generally have less bus stops and stops are major transfer points
• Use roads with higher speeds to travel across the city

Regional Routes

• Represented by the colour black
• Service to neighbouring communities

The route numbers also specify which directions the route runs and approximate location of the route within the city. 

North and south

Routes travelling north and south will be an odd number (examples: routes 115 and 305). Route number will increase within the route series going from west to east across the city. 

East and West

Routes travelling east and west will be an even number (examples: routes 240 and 250). Route number will increase within the route series going from north to south across the city. 

Identifying Bus Stops

Passengers may have noticed a new sign at bus stops! These are bright yellow, round signs with a bus on them located above the transit sign. The signs can be seen on both sides of the bus stop to ensure pedestrians are able to identify transit stops regardless of their direction of travel. The signs are also reflective to help road users and bus operators identify the stops in low light.
