Changes to Sault City Transit Services Under Consideration
The Sault city council will review recommendations from an optimization study to improve transit services in the area.
The study suggests discontinuing the on-demand service on weekends and replacing it with full transit service, as well as introducing a new 'loop service'. Additionally, it recommends expanding the 'Home to Hub' service to Pawating Place and reevaluating the Sault terminal location in a future budget year.
