BC Transit, the Regional District of Central Kootenay, the Regional District of Kootenay Boundary and the City of Nelson are advising customers of a service change, effective June 29, 2026.
System-wide schedule adjustments are being implemented in conjunction with the transition of the Operations and Maintenance facility to 1175 Lower China Creek Road. The new location will serve as a critical hub for transit service in the Lower Columbia region.
Service levels on Route 14 Blewett and Route 20 Slocan Valley have been adjusted to better align with demand.
OnRequest service in Nakusp will be available on Mondays and Wednesdays. Additional trips have been scheduled for Route 51 Hot Springs and Route 52 Slocan.
Blueberry Creek service on Route 98 Columbia Connector will be replaced by Route 34 Kinnaird/Southridge. Route 98 will continue to serve Castlegar, including stops at the Community Complex and Selkirk College.
Customers can consult the latest Riders Guide for updated information.
