There are several options available for transport from the University of Saskatchewan to TCU Place for the Rhizosphere5–CSSS Joint activities. 

1. Walking: TCU Place is 3.5 km from the UofS. It's a lovely walk (weather permitting of course).
2. Yellow bus: There will be a yellow school bus leaving from Place Riel on campus at 13:00 and 13:30 to shuttle people to TCU Place for the Rhizosphere5–CSSS Joint Session. People can then walk to the rRemai museum for the reception following the session. The bus will then depart at 20:30 and 21:00 for those who would like a lift back to the university.
3. Public transport: You can catch either the #60 Confederation or #65 Kensington via City Centre bus from Place Riel to the 22nd Street / Pacific stop just past TCU. For the return trip, you can catch the #60 back, the #6 City Centre from 3rd Ave / 22nd Street, or the #45 Arbor Creek from Downtown Terminal North. Regular fare is $3.00 each way. Multi-use passes are available for $8.50 for 24 hours of unlimited travel. Visit Plan My Trip or Transit Saskatoon for more information.
