Public transport in Edmonton Metropolitan Region, Canada

Mapping Edmonton and area's public transit network

Status In progress

This page covers the mapping progress for public transit routes in the Edmonton Metropolitan Region (EMR) in Alberta, Canada. Public transit services in the region are run by these agencies: Edmonton Transit Service (ETS, former Edmonton Transit System), Beaumont Transit, Fort Sask Transit (FST), Leduc Transit, St. Albert Transit (StAT), Spruce Grove Transit and Stony Plain Transit, and Strathcona County Transit. The system has been partially mapped, but many routes if mapped continue to use the older PTv1 scheme.

This page does not cover intercity transport services which serve the EMR such as VIA Rail and intercity bus services (Cold Shot, FlixBus, Red Arrow and Ebus, Rider Express).
