B.C. Transit is hosting public engagement sessions on how best to use the additional hours of service approved by city council earlier this year.
In July, city council approved 2,500 hours of expanded transit service for the city. Proposed changes include boosted Sunday service, increased trip frequency on well-used routes and improvements in bus connections, as well as an easier to understand riders' guide.
B.C. Transit and city staff will be on hand at transit exchanges and Talktober events throughout October to gather input.
