Transit System: Columbia Valley
COLUMBIA VALLEY – Two new light-duty buses are now operating in the Columbia Valley Transit System, providing safe, reliable and comfortable community service.
The 26-foot light-duty ARBOC Spirit of Freedom buses can carry up to 21 seated passengers, and provide flexibility for up to two mobility aids. Each new bus is equipped with a white LED destination sign, modern vinyl seating, quiet gasoline engine, increased interior lighting, and a rear route number. These features will improve the safety, cleanliness and customer experience for conventional and paratransit service.
The buses come equipped with a temporary vinyl panel installed to protect the health of drivers and passengers during the COVID-19 pandemic. These additions to the Columbia Valley Transit System will replace existing diesel buses in the fleet that are nearing the end of their service life.
The deliveries are part of a wider plan to add approximately 70 light-duty buses in select transit systems in B.C. in 2020.
