Private company plans shuttle service between Martensville, Warman and Saskatoon

It will soon become easier for people to travel between Martensville, Warman and Saskatoon.

Privately-owned company AV Transit will start offering a shuttle bus service between the two cities, starting May 1.

The 22 person shuttle bus will run every two hours, Monday to Friday, 6 a.m. to 8 p.m. and will cost $15 for a round-trip ticket.

The company already runs a special-needs transportation service in Saskatoon.

AV Transit said the venture has been planned for the past six months, and isn't related to the province's decision to killthe Saskatchewan Transportation Company bus service.

The new service will be free to the public from May 1-2.
