The route sees two buses circulating in opposite directions between the city’s five malls – Centre, Confederation, Lawson Heights, Market and Midtown – so shoppers don’t miss any great deals either before or after Christmas.
The city said the Jingle Bell Express – fittingly designated as Route 1225 – lets shoppers skip the hassles of winter driving and navigating busy parking lots.
The holiday route runs on Saturdays and Sundays from 10:30 a.m. to 5:30 p.m., but will not be running Dec. 27 or 28. Regular fares apply every day except Boxing Day, when shoppers can ride for free.
“To plan a trip, search Route 1225 in the Transit App or Google Maps Transit, or check out the route schedule on Saskatoon Transit’s website,” the City of Saskatoon said in a statement.
