Get used to it …

The BC municipal politicians have added a 4 hr session to their convention on September 10th. Called the Greyhound session it is to address the announcement of a loss of service and access to BC communities after the Greyhound company announced withdrawal of service on November 1st 2018.

The transit service in BC gives service within communities’ but the service between communities has been a more or less monopoly with Greyhound. The service is not well taken in some remote areas and Greyhound is claiming it is not able to make a profit with the obligation of service to small market towns.

We in the small town of Merritt have a handy dart service for medical appointments in larger neighbouring  communities’ like Kamloops and Kelowna, it may be the only option come November.

A motion spot is also on the agenda for the policy meeting regarding bus service.
