Bus Electrification
ng 50 per cent of the infrastructure and bus costs. In addition to the EV bus purchases, the
existing Transit Operations facility where the buses are stored and
maintained was upgraded with charging and service capabilities for roughly 60 EV buses. What is
the range of the electric buses? The buses can travel approximately 340 km before needing to
recharge. Charging is done overnight in the Transit maintenance facility. In extreme cold, the
range can be reduced to 220 km, but 60 per cent of Regina Transit’s daily routes are under 200 km,
so the City uses these buses year-round. I have heard that electric buses have broken down on the
road and can’t run in the winter. Is this true? No, electric buses are running every day in our
system. Occasionally buses do have to be switched out for another bus, whether diesel or electric
buses. However, diesel buses are switched out for another bus more frequently than the electric
buses. Why would an electric bus be switched out for another bus during a route? An electric bus
may be switched out for another bus if it was not charged correctly overnight and went out on the
road in the morning not fully charged. Additionally, with this winter being the first winter with
BEBs, the City continues to learn how the buses operate in cold weather. If a bus’ diesel heater is
not working correctly, that would require a change of buses during a route. However, switching out
a bus for these reasons is infrequent and the majority of the time that a bus needs to be switched
out during a route, it is diesel buses. When will the infrastructure and buses be in place? The
first seven buses have arrived and are on the road. The remaining charging infrastructure will be
installed and operational for the second order of buses in 2026. The following is a breakdown of EV
bus purchases: 2024 – Ordered seven electric buses, received in May 2025 2024 – Ordered 13
electric buses, to be received in Q2 2026 Are these buses replacing buses we already have? These
buses will replace buses that have come to the end of their useful life. Typically, buses are
replaced after 17 years of service. Are EV buses expected to have the same lifespan (17 years) as
diesel engine buses? Yes, the City anticipates electric buses to have a similar lifespan to diesel
buses, around 17 years. What routes will these buses be on? The buses are used on a variety of
routes throughout the city. Will bus fares go up to pay for the new buses? How are they being paid
for? No, bus fares won’t need to increase to pay for the electric buses. The City of Regina has
been approved to receive $26 million in funding through the federal government’s Permanent Public
Transit Program – Zero Emissions Transit Fund. This funding will cover 50 per cent of the purchase
cost of 20 electric buses along with the first phase of transit fleet facility upgrades to
accommodate electric vehicle charging. Why did City Council decide to order diesel hybrid buses
starting in 2027? Regina City Council directed administration to purchase diesel hybrid buses
starting in 2027. This was done as there were no additional federal funding programs to buy BEBs
beyond 2026. Diesel hybrid buses provide the best of both diesel and electric vehicles by reducing
emissions up to 40 per cent when compared to diesel buses.
