Commuters in the Battlefords may have to start looking for alternative options for transportation.

The Battlefords Handi-Bus has been temporarily shut down due to the COVID-19 virus.

In addition to this, North Battleford Public Transit said they will be implementing service reductions in an attempt to limit the spread of COVID-19 and protect their employees.

The reduced schedule will run from Monday to Wednesday from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m., with only one bus running on Thursday and Friday from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m.

In a press release, North Battleford Public Transit said that a community effort is required to limit the exposure and spread of COVID-19. They are asking everyone to practice social distancing and remain home whenever possible.
