  • Rating12345

A new RapidBus service connecting downtown Kelowna with the University of British Columbia-Okanagan (UBCO), and enhancing service to the Rutland area, was unveiled today. These new services will begin operations on Sunday, Sept. 5, helping to bring transit users, including students, to their destinations easier and faster than ever before, and helping to build a sustainable, efficient transportation network for the region. The first phase of the RapidBus BC project was previewed by Stockwell Day, President of the Treasury Board and Minister for the Asia-Pacific Gateway, Shirley Bond, Minister of Transportation and Infrastructure, Ron Cannan MP Kelowna – Lake Country, Norm Letnick, MLA Kelowna-Lake Country, Steve Thomson, Minister of Agriculture and Lands and MLA Kelowna-Mission, Sharon Shepherd, mayor of the City of Kelowna, and Doug Findlater, mayor of the District of West Kelowna. This new service has been made possible as a result of over $21.5 million in funding from the Governments of Canada and British Columbia, the City of Kelowna and ICBC. These funds have been used toward improvements to Highway 97, including the addition of high-occupancy vehicle lanes between Gordon and Highway 33, seven transit stations and new signal communications technology.
