Some big changes are coming to Dieppe’s public transit system.

The city is revamping transit so that all routes will run every day of the week. During the pandemic, the system had to reduce the schedule, but now things are finally back to pre-pandemic levels, or even better in some cases. Routes 93, 94 and 95 are set to offer more daily trips than ever before and will also run on Sundays for the first time ever. The city says the total number of service hours per week will rise to almost 300 for those routes.

The changes come into effect this Sunday, September 3^rd, just in time for back-to-school season. For students looking to take the bus to and from school, Dieppe offers free youth passes to anyone under the age of 18.

Here’s a full list of the incoming changes:

• Additional morning and afternoon trips for the 50 Red Line and 66 Caledonia routes to address rush hour demand.
• Extended operating hours for the 50 Red Line in the afternoon.
• To enhance late-night service on the 51 Green Line, specific trips that were formerly originating from 53 Mapleton have been reassigned to the 51 Green Line.
• Addition of a 7 p.m. trip for the 67 Edinburgh route.
• Minor schedule adjustments for the 51 Green Line, 61 Elmwood, and 68 Salisbury routes.
• Revised schedule for the 94 Centrale and 95 Amirault routes:
  • Weekdays (Mon-Fri) after 9:30 a.m.: 35/40-minute intervals.
  • Weekdays (Mon-Fri) extended service until 9:30 p.m.
  • Saturdays 9:30 a.m. – 9:30 p.m.: 30/35-minute intervals.
  • Sundays: 30-minute intervals for 93 Champlain, 94 Centrale, and 95 Amirault routes.
