EDMONTON TRANSIT SERVICE
Heavy Duty

This page will be covering the larger and more specialized equipment used to maintain ETS infrastructure. A lot of this equipment will have specific uses, such as a snow removal, and bus shelter construction/ repair. A note on snow removal- in more recent years ETS has contracted out snow removal from transit centres. As a result, you don't see the amount of snow removal operations as you once did. Certainly from a customer perspective the contracting out model has meant must quicker snow clearing at transit centers. City of Edmonton equipment, and occasionally ETS equipment, can still be seen clearing the bus ways as the contractors aren't responsible for those areas.


Shelter construction at Clareview.
