Routes ETS numbers its bus routes based on the community they serve, with numbers 1-29 being base routes. For example, routes 60-79 serve Mill Woods, while routes 160-179 serve Castle Downs. There are some exceptions to this, such as routes 59 and 136, due to a shortage of numbers in the area they operate in. Outside of rush hour, all routes, with the exception of the trolley routes, are serviced by accessible low floor buses. - See also: List of bus routes in Edmonton
