Transit System: South Okanagan-Similkameen
BC Transit, the City of Penticton and the Regional District of Okanagan-Similkameen are announcing two service changes in the South Okanagan-Similkameen Transit System, effective September 6 and September 19, 2022.
On September 6, regular service levels will return to route 10 Naramata/Penticton and route 16 Lake to Lake.
On September 19, changes will be made to multiple routes to accommodate the City of Penticton’s Lake-to-Lake Bike Route. This includes interim changes to routes and schedules on the following routes:
As a result, some bus stops will be closed due to the route changes, and bus stop closure signs will be posted to direct passengers to the nearest stop. Stop closures will be effective starting September 19, 2022.
Later this fall, the public will have the opportunity to share their thoughts regarding permanent routing options through the Penticton Transit Restructure Plan process. This plan is being conducted in partnership between BC Transit and the City of Penticton and is aimed at better aligning the transit network with current and future travel needs.
