“This is a really exciting announcement. It’s great for everyone living in our community to have access to this automatic planning information right at their fingertips”, said Deborah Sargent, City of Campbell River City Manager. “Transit is key to future of transportation across our community and the region, and we’re really happy to see it become even more user-friendly through this convenient service.”
