There are two. The Red Line (Route 201) runs between Somerset-Bridlewood in the south and Tuscany in the northwest. The Blue Line (Route 202) runs between Saddletowne in the northeast and 69 Street in the west. Both cross downtown along 7 Avenue, where rides are free.
Your property's assessed value is multiplied by the tax rate City Council sets each year. The bill has two parts: a municipal portion and a provincial education portion. The City mails bills in late May and payment is due at the end of June. Each address profile on this site shows the assessed value the bill is based on.
