The Town of Canmore, Alberta, is currently providing fare-free transit on all its local bus routes to help manage traffic and encourage more people to use public transportation. This initiative aims to make travel easier for everyone while reducing the number of personal vehicles on the road.

These local Roam Transit services include routes 5C, 5T, and 12, which are available at no cost for both locals and tourists. The bus network is managed by the Bow Valley Regional Transit Services Commission, which handles transportation across the local region.

Town officials are currently looking for public input on how the system is working and what the community might need in the future. A community survey is open until March 20, 2026, to gather feedback from residents who use the local bus services.

By offering these rides for free, the town hopes to support sustainable travel as the area continues to grow. This effort is part of a larger plan to keep the community connected and manageable during busy tourist seasons.
