Service Changes Coming to Port Alberni

PORT ALBERNI – Effective June 30, 2013, BC Transit customers in Port Alberni will see several changes to the system. Those changes come as a direct result of face-to-face consultation and online survey responses by residents in Port Alberni.

The improvements include schedule changes that will reduce transfer wait times at the main exchange.

Changes on the #1 Southside will see reverse routing in order to better directly serve the downtown core. Customers will also note the #1 Southside will include service to Harbour Quay and the Native Friendship Centre via Burde Street.

The route #4 Crosstown will travel to the West Coast General Hospital and the Ship Creek/Cameron loops on evenings and Sundays.

In order to deliver the best possible service to BC Transit customers, the route #2 Pacific Rim has been amended and will no longer travel to underutilized areas such as the Maebelle and Brandon loop.
