Everything you need to know about getting around on Calgary Transit during CTrain disruptions​on April 12, 2025 at 12:00 am

• Routes 1, 22, 66, 300, 302, Max Yellow, Max Purple

Most stations on the northwest segment of the Red Line connect to each other directly through the local bus network.

For Sunnyside station, Routes 4, 5 and 104 stop at/near the station while Route 1 runs on nearby Kensington Road N.W. Riders going to/from areas normally served by train may need to make transfers. If your destination is on the west side of the BIA, Route 65 is another option.

Similarly, Route 65 passes through the Banff Trail neighbourhood, but doesn’t stop at Banff Trail station itself.

Those using Tuscany station should note the bus ride to/from Crowfoot on Route 138 is a circuitous neighbourhood line that will add significant time to the trip.

Major destinations at or near CTrain stations in the northwest include large post-secondary institutions.

• Buses fan out from the University of Calgary terminal at Craigie Hall to many parts of northwest Calgary and beyond.
  • Route 90 connects with the Beltline, downtown Calgary and Bridgeland.
  • Route 9 (Dalhousie/Chinook) and Route 20 (North-Central Calgary/Heritage), whose routes go through northwest and southwest Calgary, also have a bus stop adjacent to the University LRT station.
  • Route 104 runs to Sunnyside station via Foothills Medical Centre.
  •  Max Orange, Route 38, Route 65 and Route 108 have bus stops serving the north side of the university campus.
• A number of bus routes run along the edges of the SAIT/Alberta University of the Arts campus, including Routes 4 and 5 on 10th Street N.W., Route 19 and Max Orange on 16th Avenue, and Route 65 on 14th Street N.W.

One notable exception is the station at the Calgary Zoo. The closest buses are Route 90 in Bridgeland and Routes 1, 101 and Max Purple in Inglewood. It’s about a 10- to 15-minute walk from the zoo to the nearest bus stops.

Max Bell/Barlow station has limited bus access to/from other CTrain stations but there are mainline buses running to neighbourhoods near the station.

Most stations along the west leg of the Blue Line are directly connected to each other with local bus routes.

One notable exception is between Sirocco and 45th Street stations, where there’s an 800-metre gap (about a 10- to 15-minute walk) between Sirocco station and the last stop for Route 2 on 17th Avenue S.W., which runs to/near many Blue Line stations in the west.

Another is between Sunalta and Shaganappi Point station, where some backtracking is likely required to get from one to the other.

Many mainline bus routes intersecting with CTrain services downtown also connect with crosstown routes ringing the central parts of the city.
