SJTRides Mobile eTicket Rules and Tips
- Once activated, a single use eTicket (1-ride pass), will time out and be removed from your app after 15 minutes (the activation window), and you will no longer be able to use it. Tickets that are activated too early will not be replaced.
- Multi-use tickets (10-Ride Transcards and 31-Day Monthly passes) will remain active for the full time period the fare allows. After being used, the ticket may be closed, and the ticket bar on the home screen will now say “SHOW” to indicate you have an active ticket that can be reused.
- You must scan your mobile eTicket from within the SJTRides app. Screen shots and video recordings will not be accepted.
- All mobile eTickets will expire whether they are used or not. 1-ride and 1-day passes expire after 90 days, and 20-ride and 30-day passes expire after 180 days.
- Please check for holiday or other limited schedule service prior to purchasing or activating a ticket.
- By purchasing and using mobile eTickets, you are agreeing to the ticket rules. SJTRides eTickets are not refundable. Please see Saint John Transit’s full Terms and Conditions for more details.
FLEX provides additional transit service in the East on-demand zone.
The East FLEX zone is east of McAllisterDrive, west of Lakeview Drive, north of Loch Lomond Road and south of Westmorland Road. Riders can travel between stops in the East FLEX zone or transfer to other lines at McAllister Mall.
FLEX service does not operate on a fixed route or schedule. It operates stop to stop within the zone.
Service is available Monday to Friday from 6:30 am to 6:30 pm. Saturday service is available from 10 am to 6 pm. Unique stops will be added into the FLEX service zone. FLEX East will not replace fixed route service in the area.
Riders use an app on their phone or call a dispatcher at 506 652-3539 (FLEX) to schedule a ride. The app or the dispatcher will let the rider know when to meet the bus at the stop, depending on preference.
Riders are able to request the quickest available bus, book a ride for later, or request the time to arrive at their destination within the zone.
Riders can travel from stop to stop within the zone, or transfer to other routes at McAllister Mall.
The service goal is to have the bus arrive at the requested stop within half an hour of the request.

______________________________
In 2023, service enhancements will roll out across the system. Find out more about the Transforming Transit project here.
Sign up for Transit news and notifications here.
Saint John Transit service enhancements focus on North/South routes and Route 1 East/West, beginning July 3, 2023
Route 25 (Millidgeville/North) will be discontinued and will be split into Route 24 North End and FLEX Millidgeville.
The Saint John Transit Commission is pleased to announce Phase 3 enhancements as part of the Transforming Transit project.
Enhanced schedules, new features and technology, and improved industry and system standards are making our transit service more financially and environmentally sustainable and providing more Saint John residents with better and more accessible transportation options.
This transformation is guided by principles that consider Saint John’s people and geography, industry standards, passenger and stop data, route modelling, and a comprehensive study of the transit system conducted by Stantec.
New Route and Flex Zone
Route 25 (Millidgeville/North) will be discontinued and will be split into Route 24 North End and FLEX Millidgeville.
NEW Route 24 North End
The Old North End will be serviced by Route 24, a new route that will run from Metcalf Street through the North End back to Place 400 where transferring will be available every 15 minutes. Hourly service will begin at 6:30 am and continue to 5:45 pm Monday to Friday. Saturday service runs from 10:30am to 5:45 pm.
NEW FLEX Millidgeville
Areas in Millidgeville currently served by Route 25 will be serviced by FLEX Millidgeville. The new zone does not include University Avenue. Transit service and stops beyond Brothers Cove on Kennebecasis Drive and along Sandy Point Road will be discontinued.
Bus service will be available from 6:30 am to 6:30 pm Monday to Friday, and 10 am to 6 pm on Saturdays.
Hours for booking
You can book on the app during service hours.
Telephone booking is available from 6:30 am until 5pm weekdays and 10 am to 5 pm on Saturdays.
Riders can travel stop-to-stop within the Millidgeville FLEX zone or transfer to Routes 3 or 9 North (University/Hospital) at a new stop at 608 Millidge Avenue (old Station 8). Riders who want to transfer to Route 3 or 9 East (Uptown/ McAllister Place) will transfer at the existing stop at the corner of Millidge Avenue and Woodward Avenue.
FLEX is an on-demand service that goes to stops where it’s requested within a zone instead of following a fixed route. The new Millidgeville FLEX zone will include all areas previously covered on the Millidgeville portion of Route 25 offer longer hours of service.
To access FLEX, riders can download the “Saint John Flex app” via the Apple Store or Google Play. Riders can use the app on their phones or tablets or call 506 652-3539 (FLEX) to schedule a pickup at their nearest stop. Transit planners encourage Saint Johners with friends, family, neighbours and co-workers in Millidgeville to help them set up a Saint John Transit FLEX account and take advantage of this new transit service.
Signage will be posted throughout the zone.
Riders are encouraged to book trips in advance for best service. The intent is to provide service within half an hour of a rider’s request.
Exact schedules for the fixed routes and the Millidgeville FLEX zone information will be available in saintjohn.ca in the coming weeks.
