Bus service in Saskatoon could be suspended this weekend if a deal can't be reached between the City of Saskatoon and the union representing transit workers.

The Amalgamated Transit Union (ATU) were handed a lockout notice by the city Thursday. The union now has 48 hours to come to an agreement with the city.

If a last minute solution can't be reached, buses will stop running Saturday at 9 p.m., a release stated.

Access Transit is an essential service and will continue operating as normal.
