SUNSHINE COAST – The Sunshine Coast Regional District and BC Transit
are inviting the public to get on board with the region’s 25-year
Transit Future Plan.
From December 1 to 6, 2012, BC Transit is bringing the ‘Transit Future
Bus’ to various locations throughout the Sunshine Coast to connect with
community members about area-specific transit needs, priorities and concerns.
The 40-foot decommissioned bus has been transformed into an interactive public
consultation tool. The Transit Future Bus features educational displays that
include a draft of the Sunshine Coast’s 25-year transit plan, Post-It note
boards for rider-led initiatives, an iPad station and a Kids’ Zone. The
Transit Future Team will be travelling with the bus to answer questions and
help visitors learn more about public transportation in the region.
“In order for BC Transit to succeed for decades to come, we must listen
to what our customers want and need,” said BC Transit President & CEO
Manuel Achadinha. “By bringing the Transit Future Bus to popular community
events and destinations, we receive direct input from our riders on how to best
grow a regional transit system that we can all take pride in.”
