• Route 560 will stop at the Transit Centre both when entering and departing Spruce Grove. See the updated route map for details.

A temporary shuttle bus will take riders to the Transit Centre and will run every 30 minutes on weekdays during peak hours from 5:30 to 8:30 a.m. and 3 to 6:30 p.m. This service will operate until February 2, 2025.
