Fredericton Transit is pleased to announce the launch of half-hour service on several high-demand routes, effective April 14, 2025. This service expansion reflects the city’s commitment to enhancing public transit reliability and meeting the growing needs of its riders.
The new schedule will reduce wait times and improve convenience for passengers during midday hours. The decision comes in response to a notable increase in ridership over the past year, aligning with Fredericton’s goal of creating a more accessible and efficient transit system. In 2023, the city recorded 1,344,996 passenger trips, with a 19% increase in 2024, bringing the total to 1,600,406 passenger trips.
“We are excited to introduce these changes to better serve our community,” said Charlene Sharpe, the City’s Manager of Transit and Parking Services. “By increasing service frequency and adding more buses, we’re making public transit a more viable and convenient option for daily commutes.”
Routes Receiving Enhanced Service Include:
• Routes 12, 13, 14, and 15: Midday half-hour service across the entire route.
• Routes 16 & 17: Midday half-hour service on Fredericton’s south side.
• Routes 116 & 216: PM peak half-hour service starting one hour earlier.
Fredericton Mayor Kate Rogers emphasized the importance of this initiative: “As our city grows, we are committed to providing affordable and dependable public transit options that meet the needs of our residents. This expansion of service is a key step toward achieving that goal.”
Riders are encouraged to use Fredericton Transit’s digital tools, including updated maps and the MyRide app, to stay informed about new schedules. These tools are designed to make trip planning easier and ensure passengers can navigate the updated system seamlessly.
Fredericton Transit remains dedicated to monitoring ridership trends and adapting services accordingly. Future plans include introducing on-demand transit options for underutilized routes and continued investments in sustainable, hybrid buses.
