With the new school year just around the corner, B.C. Transit is boosting up the 91´ó»ÆÑ¼ Regional Transit System.

Effective Sept. 4, the system will move from summer service to fall service, meaning:

  • Additional trips on routes 1 Lakeshore, 6 Glenmore/UBCO Express, 8 University/College and 97 Okanagan;
  • Routes that serve schools K-12 will be adjusted to meet demands;
  • Reinstatement of service on routes 4 Pandosy/UBCO Express and 13 Quail Ridge.

More services may be added, depending on the ongoing labour shortage.

91´ó»ÆÑ¼ ridership has recovered faster than the provincial average at over 80 per cent of pre-pandemic levels. Across B.C., the average is approximately 75 per cent.
