People using transit in Comox Valley have improved and expanded transit options with the introduction of new trips and increased services on several routes.

Service expanded on January 1st.

BC Transit and the B.C. government are partnering to expand service in several communities, including within the Comox Valley Regional District.

“Expanding transit in the Comox Valley means more people can get to work, school and community activities with more ease,” said George Anderson, parliamentary secretary for transit.

“By working with BC Transit and local partners, we’re strengthening connections across the region and making travel easier for people to get where they need to go, seven days a week.”

An expanded Route 5 Vanier includes new routing through west Courtenay, with more trips offered throughout the day, seven days a week.

Also, increased Sunday service on Route 2 Cumberland, Route 6 Uplands and Route 8 Downtown will offer  better coverage on Sundays.
