Seeking Public Input to Shape Future Transit Services
Transit System: Victoria
24 February 2018
VICTORIA – The Victoria Regional Transit Commission (VRTC) and
BC Transit are inviting the public to visit the Transit Future Bus and tell
us what service improvements they would like to see in the next few years.
BC Transit staff are working on service improvements and proposed service design
standards based on feedback we’ve heard from our customers to date, but
before any changes are introduced, we would like to present the proposed improvements
to the public and our riders, to confirm we have the priorities right. The improvements
being considered include routes, schedules, fleet resources and more.
In early October, the Transit Future Bus will travel to eight busy transit
locations in Greater Victoria to get direct feedback from our riders. Plus online
surveys are available for those who can’t attend an open house.
“We encourage transit users to share their thoughts on the future of transit,”
said VRTC Chair Susan Brice. “Our transit system should reflect the needs
of existing customers but should also help direct changes that will encourage
more Greater Victorians to enjoy the financial, health and environmental benefits
of public transportation.”
