Sunday Transit Service In The City

By 250 News

After testing out transit service in Prince George over three Sundays in November and December, the City has decided to launch a pilot program until the end of April.

The Sunday service operates between 11am and 5:45pm and serves UNBC, Pine Centre Mall, College Heights, Downtown and the Heritage neighbourhoods.

City Transit Analyst, Warren Hall says the test runs targeted the university with the exact routes being refined over the course of the three Sundays and it's those routes that are now part of the three-month pilot project.

Hall says in late April, City Staff will be looking at ridership counts to see if the service seems to be meeting a need and, depending on the results, could go before City Council to recommend the service be continued.

It was last January, that, after cash infusion from the City and revision of transit routes, ridership jumped and revenues were up $80-thousand dollars over the same period in 2004.
