TRAVELING FROM THE AIRPORT

Here is a link for airport transportation options.

From the Edmonton International Airport you can catch Route 747, a bus service from the airport to Century Park Station (where you can also catch the LRT). Red Arrow also provides transportation from many surrounding cities.

Alternatively, you can also hire a taxi from Alberta Co-op Taxi or Edmonton Taxi, or take an Uber.

Public transport

Transit (ETS) – Edmonton Transit Service provides bus and light rail transit (LRT) services around the city. Catch a bus at one of our Transit Centres or jump on the train at one of the LRT Stations across the city. You can pay per trip or get a day pass.

Arc is Edmonton’s electronic fare payment system and is a convenient way to pay for and take transit. No need to deal with paper passes or exact change, as riders can simply tap on and off transit using an Arc card or single-use Arc ticket. The Arc card can be used when travelling on regional buses serving X, Y, Z. Visit myArc.ca for more information.
