Lethbridge Transit routes could be impacted by staffing challenges

LETHBRIDGE, AB – Transit riders in Lethbridge are being advised that certain routes may be modified in the coming weeks.

The City of Lethbridge says they have experienced a shortage of bus drivers lately due to long-term and short-term illnesses, retirements, and other factors.

There are no positive cases of COVID-19 within Lethbridge Transit employees.

Hiring additional drivers could be a challenge for the time being given the drop in ridership caused by the COVID-19 shutdowns and the lack of post-secondary students in the city this term.

Passengers are encouraged to download the MyRide mobile app or visit the city’s transit website for real-time route updates.
