The Campbell River Transit system will see changes in the new year with a service expansion of 1,300 hours coming into effect Jan. 6th.
BC Transit and the City of Campbell River says the expansion will address transit customer feedback received following 2017 service changes.
“BC Transit is pleased to announce the expansion of service hours in the Campbell River Transit System,” says BC Transit President and Chief Executive Officer Erinn Pinkerton. “BC Transit worked hard to find solutions to the feedback we received from our customers. These new improvements will ensure that our customers can expect timely and reliable service throughout their transit system.”
The service changes will include three additional weekday trips for Route 1 Campellton/Willowpoint, one additional weekday trip for Route 4 Campbellton, one additional mid-evening weekday round trip for Route 6 Oyster River/Willow Point, one additional evening weekday trip for Route 7 Peterson, and the realignment of Route 8 Quinsam/North Island College.
A bus will now travel along Kalmar, Shelbourne and Rockland Road in both directions to improve transit access in the Rockland Area.
Route 1 Campbellton/Willowpoint will see two of the three trips being added at the end of school days, helping to address a high demand on this route.
