Transit System: Cranbrook
CRANBROOK – Here’s your chance to tell us what you like about
transit in Cranbrook. We are conducting ridership surveys. The information you
provide to us will guide the direction of transit to help meet the changing
needs of your community.
BC Transit customers will be asked to fill-in a survey every time they ride
the bus on December 5 and 6, 2012. Input from the survey will be included in
a comprehensive service review of transit in Cranbrook that will be complete
in the summer of 2013.
You can also share your opinions online from November 26, 2012 until January
31, 2013 at www.bctransit.com/regions/cra
and click on the Transit Future link.
Ridership grew by 6% in Cranbrook in 2011/12 compared to the previous year.
BC Transit hopes to attract even more customers and improve on that statistic.
By making transit more efficient and effective, people will leave their single-occupancy
vehicles at home and make the smart, sustainable and affordable decision to
ride a bus to work.
Last year, BC Transit introduced route #4 Slaterville to better service the
Mission Hills region and made other minor routing changes. We’d like to
hear how the changes are working for our customers.
BC Transit encourages all Cranbrook residents to participate whether they are
current customers or potential new ones. In addition to the online survey, there
are also public open houses planned for the spring of 2013. Please check the
website regularly for updates on the dates and times.
