KELOWNA – BC Transit and the City of Kelowna are working to make
the transit system more efficient and effective with a number of service changes
beginning September 1, 2013.
The Route #14 Black Mountain will end at the new Rutland Centre Transit
Exchange along Shepherd Road. An underutilized portion of the route along the
Begley Road and the Lund Road loop will also no longer be part of the transit
coverage area. Customers will still have reasonable access via bus stops on
Black Mountain Drive or Large Avenue.
In Upper Mission, the Route #17 Southridge will be amended to provide
better coverage to the Ponds development and its new town centre. The Route
#17 will now operate via Gordon Drive to Frost Road, South Ridge Drive and
Arbor View Drive, continuing along Gordon to the Mission Recreation Exchange.
The Route #23 Lake Country will now be serving Innovation Drive between UBCO
and Airport Way in both directions to improve access to the area.
September 1, 2013 also marks the seasonal return of routes #4 Pandosy/UBCO
Express, # 6 Glenmore/UBCO Express, #13 Quail Ridge and all
other school-related trips that were on summer hiatus.
For more information on the fall changes please pick up a Rider’s Guide
