2021 - 2022 Updates

Throughout the next year, we will be keeping you up-to-date with the many changes and updates happening with Beaumont Transit. Some of these include route updates, transit centre changes, new services and everything in-between. 

• Beaumont Commuter Bus Services resumed as of Monday, August 23rd. Personal face masks are required whenever riding public transit along with social distancing whenever possible
  
  
• Beaumont will no longer be utilizing the Century Park Transit Centre due to construction and access from transit traffic within Edmonton. The 540 bus routes will instead travel to the Heritage Valley Transit Centre from their starting origin of the Ken Nichol Regional Recreation Centre.
  
  
  • If riders need to get to Century Park, the 700X bus leaves every 10 minutes from Heritage Valley. This could potentially add upwards of 25-30 minutes additional travel time. We apologize for any inconveniences this may cause to your daily routine.
    
    
    • *NOTE* Riders will have to pay ETS fares to board the 700X and can request a transfer for other busses or the LRT
      
      
    • *NOTE* This is a temporary change until we are permitted to access the Mill Woods Transit Centre (TBD)
  • On return trips, riders can take the 700X bus to Heritage Valley and connect to the 540 Beaumont Transit bus.
• Our Beaumont Transit schedule will remain the same with a few changes such as two additional trips to Edmonton in the morning. The full schedule can be found HERE.
  
  
  • The 540 Beaumont Transit route has a stop at 50th Street and Ellerslie
• U-Pass is now available for post-secondary students through the ARC card (formerly the Smart Fare) program starting this Fall 2021 term. For full details on the U-Pass program and ARC, please check the references below:

COVID-19 Service Update (September 20, 2021)

In light of the latest updates from the Province of Alberta, Beaumont is now implementing that personal face masks are required whenever riding public transit along with social distancing whenever possible.

COVID-19 Service Update (July 26, 2021)

Currently we are working towards relaunching Beaumont Transit Services in August. Full details and information will be made available in the near future as we work towards getting everything updated and in-place. Full announcements will be made available on all our social channels + web pages.

COVID-19 Service Update (May 25, 2021)

Until further notice, Beaumont Transit services are still on hold due to COVID-19. This is due to a low ridership, along with a decision by Council to temporarily suspend services last year (see June 9, 2020 update). There will be a new direction requested by Administration towards Council on when transit service can be started up again during a council meeting scheduled for Summer, 2021. 

COVID-19 Service Update (June 9, 2020)

Due to low ridership, Beaumont city council made the difficult decision to suspend Beaumont Transit service temporarily effective Monday, May 4. The city will continue to monitor factors, including provincial health restrictions, and consider restarting service with Stage 3 of the Alberta government’s re-launch strategy. 

We know there are residents who depend on daily transit service and are exploring options for them while service is suspended. If you are currently using Beaumont Transit, please contact us at by email at BT@beaumont.ab.ca or phone at 780-929-4306.

Thank you for your patience and understanding while we work to protect the health and safety of the community during the COVID-19 pandemic.
