 two small buses run one at a time ,at about 4000 kilometers a month they are at 160,000 kilometers and a source says they  will be replaced with new ones at 200 thousand Ks that will be around Christmas time 2013.

The buses are operated by BC Transit and that is the provincial transit system.Only one full time job and some part timers including one that is retired from big town bus driving. The buses hold under 30 people but are equipped for wheel chairs and bicycles . They will also go to Kamloops and Kelowna on medical preference once a week for 5 dollars there and  return. You must book 24 hours ahead to make sure of service.
Opinion: We hope the new buses are as serviceable and maybe slightly bigger.
The service has an office in the back of the Chamber of Commerce building on Voght Street; just before the junction of Highway 8 and Highway 5-A on Nicola Avenue.
The service is subsidised.
