To The Edmonton International Airport & Beyond...

Sometimes the simplest idea can take years to develop. Take for example public transit to the international airport. Well it looks like Edmonton might finally be getting this service; Edmonton, welcome to 2011.

The City’s Transportation committee is backing a regularly scheduled bus to The Edmonton International Airport from the South Century Park LRT station.

Scheduled bus hours will be every half-hour during peak times which are 5am-9am and 3pm-7:30pm, and once an hour during mid-day and evenings until 12:30am. The fee will be $5 or a monthly fee for $100.

The new service is not only a good alternative for flight passengers, but it also provides a new mean of transportation for airport employees. With the future closing of the municipal airport and the new expansion of the Edmonton International Airport, the commute to and from the airport will only be increasing.

The new service is set to start in the spring of 2012.
