From Northside/Downtown

The best way to get to Old Scona from the Northeast and Downtown is by taking Light Rail Transit (LRT)

-Take a local feeder bus to the nearest LRT station and take the LRT to University Station and transfer to route 4 (Capilano), 6 (Downtown), or 106 (Capilano). Get off at the stop located at 105^th street and Whyte Avenue and walk a block north to the school.

From Southside (Riverbend, Millwoods, Twin Brooks, etc.)

Take a feeder bus to Southgate Transit Centre and transfer to an express bus -- 17 (Downtown), 40 (Downtown), 41 (Downtown), 42 (Downtown), 45 (Downtown), or 50 (Downtown). These buses will travel non-stop to Whyte Avenue/109^th street. Alternatively, you can take a route 9 (Northgate); however, it will not provide express service. Get off at the stop at Whyte Avenue and 109^th street and either take a three block walk to the school or wait at an eastbound bus stop on Whyte for a route 4, 6, or 106.

From West End

If you live in the extreme west end (Callingwood/Lessard), your best bet is to take an express route 104 (Downtown) or 105 (Downtown). These will take you non-stop to the Whyte Avenue/109^th street stop where you can walk or take a feeder bus to OSA (4,6,106).

If you are unable to catch a 104/105, you can take a feeder bus to the West Edmonton Mall terminal and take the 106 (University/Capilano) or the 4 (University/Capilano). Of these two, the 106 is a better choice as it is faster than the route 4. These will take you to the stop a block from the school.
