Parts of the Confederation Line light-rail transit system will be replaced by bus service on the next two Sundays for maintenance work.

The Confederation Line will close down between Hurdman and Blair stations on Nov. 22, while the full LRT system will be shut down on Nov. 29.

On both days, R1 replacement bus service will be in operation to cover the closures.
