if you’re looking for the most horrendous transit experience in your life, then you’ve come to the right place! not only are the buses dirty, stinky, and tiny, but they take an extremely long time to get you anywhere! you want a ride for 10am? sorry! no rides till 12:30! (even if you try booking ahead). need a ride home at 3? sorry. no more buses today. even though the “service hours” are until 6pm. even though the bus always has a maximum of 5 people on it (usually all heading to and from the same neighbourhood), the bus drives around aimlessly for like an hour before taking you to your actual destination. the bus will say its arrival time is 10am, and then will show up at 9:35 without notice until it’s at the bus stop and leave you stranded without a ride for another three hours because somehow you were unable to predict that the bus would arrive 25 minutes earlier than the listed time. the drivers are miserable and won’t even say hello. sometimes they’ll stop and get out to smoke cigs at a stop for like 25 minutes and if you ask them when you’re getting to your destination they just look at you like you’re insane for thinking that they’d do their job. the saskatoon transit system is an actual joke and is so incredibly poorly run and inconsistent. every old fart that works for the city has clearly never had to take transit in their life or else they would be able to tell within 10 minutes how horrible it is.
