Proposed Transit Planning for Prince George (March 2009)

The City of Prince and BC Transit are developing a long-range Transit Business Plan that will provide a vision for transit service in Prince George. The plan is guided by what changes you would like to see in your transit system, combined with the key land use and transportation policies of the City.

Developing the Plan

Currently, the Prince George Transit System operates about 60,000 annual hours of conventional transit service. The proposed plan includes a service increase of roughly 25% in the short range period (1-3 years) and a further 90% in the medium range period (4-11 years).

In total, the projected plan would more than double the existing service level in Prince George by 2020. Timing of the implementations will be adjusted depending on the level of transit demand, local priorities, and funding availability.

The Service Plan

Today the Prince George Transit System has 30-60 minute peak period service frequencies and 60-minute midday and evening frequencies on most routes. Similar sized transit systems to Prince George have 15-minute peak and 30-minute midday service frequency.

In a recent survey, Prince George transit users identified the need for more service frequency. As a result, many of the service improvements outlined for the short and medium range periods are aimed at improving service frequency.
