Regina Transit Master Plan
Consultation has concluded
The City of Regina is working on a plan for the future of our public transit system. The Regina Transit Master Plan will identify actions to guide short-, mid-, and long-term decision-making for Regina Transit to implement over the next 25 years.
We want to make sure transit is convenient, sustainable, and accessible for residents across the city. From how you use transit to what we can improve, we’re looking at all aspects of transit.
On May 4, 2022, City Council approved the Regina Transit Master Plan (RTMP) as a decision-making guide to help position Regina Transit for community and economic growth over the next 25 years. The comprehensive Plan will be transformative for Regina, making public transit a main transportation mode of choice to support an accessible and sustainable community.
The RTMP was developed with extensive community engagement, research on best practices from other municipalities, and input from key internal and external stakeholders.
Identified within the Plan are 45 actions for implementation, set out for the short-, mid- or long-term, so that Regina Transit can be adaptable to changing circumstances in our community. Short-term actions include more frequent service, new electric buses, upgraded fare technology and exploring the option of free transit for youth.
This Plan leads Regina Transit in a direction that is passenger-focused and modern, to keep up with projected growth. Mass transportation helps spur economic activity and attract businesses who rely on it for customers and employees. As the city population increases and with the rise in fuel prices, it is important that residents have affordable and sustainable transportation methods.

Bus Rapid Transit routes on major streets
Albert St, Broad Street, Victoria Avenue still have sections with on-street parking but it is so infrequently used (there is parking provided by most businesses). That's a lot of infrastructure not being used to it's full potential. The curb lane should be switched to bus rap transit - paint it a different colour, run frequent service with fewer stops (similar to other forms of rapid transit) to help people get downtown or from one end of the city to another quickly. Other local routes would link to these to facilitate movement around the city. Other streets to consider - Arcola, Dewdney.

Create a light rail transit system similar to Calgary and Edmonton
No time to start such an ambitious plan like the present! Building a rail line in the Arcola median to move people downtown or to the airport could be a first step.

There should be benches at all transit stops. When you are a senior as I am with arthritis , standing waiting for 30 minutes can hurt.

Bus Stop Wifi
Most people who ride the bus have phones but can’t Afford data to look up the bus info on the go, so certain stops should have free wifi for those who need it

No bus fares - change the funding model
In Regina it appears the lowest income people are the ones using it the most. Instead of funding it on the backs of the people who do not have a lot of income, find a new funding model. This would increase ridership, which will be better for our environment, and has the possibility of creating new revenue sources (eg low cost park and ride parking lots for commuters).
