Transportation To/From Edmonton

By Air: Edmonton International Airport (YEG)

Edmonton International Airport (YEG) is located 26 km south of downtown Edmonton.

Edmonton Transit's Route 747 bus runs from YEG to Century Park Transit Centre 7 days a week from 4:10am to 12:30am every 30-60 minutes. Once it reaches Century Park Transit Centre, you can transfer directly to the LRT (subway) Capital line and exit at the Health Sciences/Jubilee or University stations. Be aware that University Station is about a 10-15 minute walk from hotels like Lister Hall and Campus Tower.

YEG has several taxi/limousine partner companies. Fare to downtown Edmonton is a flat rate of $62 for taxis and $71 for limos. You can find more information here.

Rideshare services like Uber and Lyft are also available. Rates are dynamically priced.
