Edmonton Bus Fees Rise Amid Stable Demand | Canada News

Published 2 weeks ago
Description

Edmonton’s school bus fees are jumping from $50 to $70 a month—despite flat student registrations—thanks to a 43% cost surge since 2020, with families footing a quarter of the bill. While Calgary sees declining bus sign-ups despite more kids in school, Edmonton still accepts late applications (though no guarantee of a seat on first day). Kids K-6 need to live at least 1.6 km from school; teens grades 7-12 qualify if they’re 2 km away and no transit is available. Regular students return Sept 1, while some Catholic schools start Aug 17.
