For a commuter weighing a newer suburb against an older, more central neighbourhood, express bus access can offset some of the extra drive time a farther-out address would otherwise add, though it will not fully close that gap on every route.
Saskatoon Transit's route network has changed over the past 10 to 15 years as the city has grown outward, so a route that served a neighbourhood well several years ago is not guaranteed to still run the same way today.
Transit access is a genuine factor in a neighbourhood's appeal, and it is worth checking current routes directly with Saskatoon Transit before assuming a stop is still there. Get your hand-reviewed valuation from Joel Dyck.
