Weekend bus service in Prince George is getting a bit of a facelift.
According to the province, Routes 5 and 15 connecting the downtown to places like the Pine Centre Mall and UNBC are getting more service hours.
In addition, service is also being expanded to Routes 88 and 89 between College Heights and the Hart Centre Mall.
“As of January 5th, people in Prince George have more convenient and reliable weekend transit options,” said George Anderson, parliamentary secretary for transit.
“By expanding service hours on key routes, we’re making it easier for people to travel across the city, connect with their communities and access the services they rely on.”
To support increasing ridership and convenient transit service for people throughout the province, BC Transit and the province are partnering with the City of Prince George on key routes expansions.
Since 2017, the ministry has increased the provincial operating grant to BC Transit by approximately 70%, supporting service levels throughout the province.
