Campbell River Transit System Expansion and Restructure
On August 28th, 2017 transit service in Campbell River is being expanded and restructured to better serve the City; changes include:
Transit route improvements that reduce route duplication and improve route-directness
Improved schedules and service frequency at peak commute times
New transit loops and better connections to Willow Point and Campbellton
Additional bus stops and new bus stop signage
This service change is a key part of the Campbell River Transit Future Plan and Master Transportation Plan. The goal of improvements to frequency and directness is to make transit easier to use and a more attractive choice to area residents who currently choose to drive while still serving existing transit customers.
