Saskatoon Transit provides public transportation to the city of Saskatoon, Saskatchewan. As of September 2nd, 2014, all buses were bike rack equipped. Saskatoon Transit uses BEA fareboxes on all vehicles. Annual ridership is about 12 Million people. In April 2014, Transit started to install ITS (Intelligent Transit System) signs on buses with the year 1990 and up. Buses 417, 419-420(1989) are not expected to receive these signs due to issues with the wiring.

Saskatoon Transit is now back operating after a four week lockout between the city of Saskatoon and the ATU (Amalgamated Transit Union). The lockout was started due to wage problems between the two parties. Service resumed the morning of Monday October 20th, 2014.
