Three new bus rapid transit routes are set to open this fall in Calgary that will help get transit users across the city without traveling through downtown.

Around 40 bus routes will also need to be changed to accommodate the BRT lines. A city spokesman says the BRT routes will allow people to move east-west across Calgary with fewer stops and transfers.

The three new BRT lines set to open this fall are the North Crosstown which connects Saddletown Station along 16 Avenue with the University of Calgary, the South Crosstown which will provide direct service from Westbrook Station to Quarry Park along Glenmore Trail, and the 17 Avenue southeast project that crosses over Deerfoot Trail and the Bow River into Inglewood.
