City Transit recent updates: Route 21 and 56

Medicine Hat – City Transit regularly monitors and evaluates its systems, routes, and customer feedback to uphold high service standards. With that, recent updates have been made to Routes 21 and 56, as outlined below:

Route 21: Starting January 4, Route 21 will expand its service to include weekday evenings and Sundays. This adjustment aims to ensure reliable hospital access and alleviate the demand on MHTnow. Please be aware that MHTnow on-demand buses will no longer serve Route 21 bus stops but will maintain service at all other Central Zone locations.

Route 21 service will be available:

• Weekdays: 6:45 a.m. to 10:45 p.m.
• Sundays: 8:15 a.m. to 7:15 p.m. (all day)

Route 56: On Aug. 31, Route 56 in the south was implemented for service dependability, especially during peak hours. This route provides access from Southlands Boulevard and Masterpiece Lodge to key shopping destinations, including Medicine Hat Mall and the Walmart shopping area. Due to its success, the City has added morning service hours; new hours beginning Jan. 4 will be 6:30 a.m. to 6:30 p.m.
