Edmonton Transit Service (ETS), formerly the Edmonton Transit System, is the transit operator for Edmonton. It operates 2 modes of transportation: light rail transit (LRT) and buses. The system has been partially mapped, but many routes if mapped continue to use the older PTv1 scheme and/or reflect the pre-2021 network.

A network tag preset is available for ETS bus stops and routes through the Name Suggestion Index (NSI); this is being extended to the LRT.

Tags

Routes

Routes are mapped using the PTv2 scheme, but some routes are still mapped using PTv1 (usually pre-2021 routes which haven't been updated).

ETS bus routes are usually tagged like this:

Key Value
type=* route
route=* bus
network=* ETS
name=* ETS ###: terminus A → terminus B (optional: via midpoint)
operator=* Edmonton Transit Service. Add other operators if applicable (e.g. Spruce Grove Transit on routes 560 and 561, Fort Sask Transit on route 580)
ref=* ###
colour=* line colour as used in network maps and/or GTFS data. Most routes should use blue. Others are:
  • orange - express routes
  • skyblue - Spruce Grove and Acheson routes
  • purple - Fort Saskatchewan route

For the LRT, services are mapped like this:

Key Value
type=* route
route=* light_rail
network=* ETS
name=* <line name>: terminus A - terminus B
operator=* Edmonton Transit Service
ref=* internal reference number
colour=* line colour as used in network maps and GTFS data, that is, blue for the Capital Line and red for the Metro Line.

Bus stops

Example of a current ETS bus stop sign
Example of an older ETS bus stop sign (still used in some stops not served by ETS or outside of Edmonton)

Bus stops names are usually "<north-south road> & <east-west road>" (e.g. 101 Street & Jasper Avenue), following the convention with the operator's GTFS data and ETS Live (with exceptions, e.g. Grove Drive & Spruce Village Way in Spruce Grove), though the data may add directional disambiguation such as NB (northbound), SB (southbound), EB (eastbound), WB (westbound), and bay letter (in stops at transit centres, e.g. Government Centre Transit Centre Bay A). The naming convention is slightly different in the on-board announcements due to space constraints.

Key Tag Value
public_transport platform Mandatory.
highway bus_stop Mandatory. Required for the bus stop to render.
bus yes Mandatory.
name Name Mandatory. This should generally match the name in ETS's GTFS data and/or the on-board announcements. Most names are in the format "<north-south street> & <east-west road>" (& omitted in on-board announcement). Bus stops in transit centres should be named after the transit centre itself (don't add the bay designation as in the GTFS data such as "Government Centre Transit Centre Bay A"; tag the bay reference with local_ref=*).
Example: 101 Street & Jasper Avenue
ref Stop ID Mandatory. This is a four- to five-digit code, found on the lower right corner of the bus stop sign (see photos).
Example: 1774
local_ref Bay designation (on bus stops at transit centres only) Mandatory. This is a single letter. It is displayed in a blue circle on the top of the bus stop sign.
Example: A
route_ref Route references (prominently posted on stops, see photos) Recommended. This tag should refer to all the bus routes that utilize the stop. This may include regional transit routes (see #Regional routes and Edmonton Metropolitan Region public transit), on-demand transit, school special routes (posted as "School Service", but only at transit centres) and intercity buses (posted under the name of the bus company that operates the route serving that stop e.g. Red Arrow, Rider Express). This should come in handy for verification of mapped routes.
Example:
  • 8;102;110X (see photo and node 2079228886)
  • 8;511-Owl;523;500X;73A;73B;401;411 (see node node 4700145997)
network ETS
operator Edmonton Transit Service Add other operators serving the stop as applicable (e.g. St. Albert Transit, Strathcona County Transit, Spruce Grove Transit, Rider Express). Optional tag
