Public Transit Operational Review

Council announces Metrobus enhancements as part of Budget 2020

We’re looking at our city’s Metrobus and GoBus (including accessible taxi) services to improve service delivery and we need your input!

The City of St. John’s has engaged Dillon Consulting Limited to assist in a review of transit services, both Metrobus and GoBus, in order to provide direction for transit that best reflects the needs, values, and priorities of the community.

The review is being funded in partnership with the Government of Canada through its Public Transit Infrastructure Fund.

These directions will guide how transit is planned, implemented, and funded over the next five to ten years.

What is being reviewed?

This review will evaluate conventional and specialized transit in St. John’s provided by Metrobus and GoBus respectively and will recommend improvements to the frequency of service, route design, operating hours, and passenger amenities that are the most beneficial and cost effective for the residents of St. John’s.

The project has been divided into several phases that will each include some form of engagement to ensure that there are opportunities to provide input into all facets of the project from initial vision to final recommendations.
