The Edmonton Transit Service (ETS) route system is the result of a transit strategy that was passed by city council on July 11, 2017. The redesigned system is composed of: * 9 frequent routes operating at least every 15 minutes (at most times of day) in core areas of the city * 13 rapid routes connecting outer areas of the city to downtown and other major destinations (including LRT stations and post-secondary institutions) * 6 crosstown routes connecting outer quadrants of the city without operating through downtown * 84 local routes connecting neighbourhoods to local destinations and other routes * 9 community routes designed to connect seniors residences with nearby services. The intention behind the redesign is to allow for simplified routes with increased frequency.
