Transit System: West Kootenay
WEST KOOTENAY– Effective April 1, 2013 an additional day of transit
service will be offered between Salmo and Nelson.
The West Kootenay Transit Committee, in partnership with BC Transit and the
Health Connections program, has decided to introduce Tuesday service for Salmo.
The new Tuesday service, at the request of riders, will help offset the strong
customer demand for the existing Thursday service. Service from Salmo begins
at 8:05am with a return trip at 12:50pm.
The twice weekly service in Salmo will now match the level of service that
is already offered in Nakusp and Kaslo.
Many more improvements are coming to the public transit system thanks to the
regional collaboration resulting from the formation of the West Kootenay Transit
Committee. BC Transit and the Committee have developed routes, schedules and
fare structures that take a holistic approach to transit travel in the region.
The new service is set to start July 2nd. Expect more details to be announced
in the near future.
