▼ TRANSIT
Bus frequency to be improved in Lake Country BOBBI-SUE MENARD CONTRIBUTOR
Catching a bus midday in Lake Country will be easier in September. The new schedule will be more frequent and more efficient on the new interlined routes to take riders faster to the core areas of Kelowna and
transit interchanges. Stephen Banmen, chief financial officer for the District of Lake Country, presented a report to council last week outlining the service increase. The expansion will increase the number of trips on the No. 23 Lake Country route from 27 per day to 36 per day, a 33 per cent increase in weekday

service. That will eliminate the up to an hour long gaps in service at midday on the current schedule. The interline portion of the plan will see the No. 23 (Lake Country) interline with the No. 4 (UBCO to Pandosy) as often as possible. That will mean riders will not have to transfer at UBCO on inter-
lined trips. The partial year cost for 2012 will be $40,000, with the full year cost of the expansion to reach about $120,000. Those costs will be phasedin over the next two years, depending on the budget priorities of council. While the expansion is expected to be effective for day-
time riders, councillors raised the idea of future expansion of transit system in the district once the new portion of Highway 97 is complete. It is expected that further transit service enhancements will be considered, including to Oyama, once the new section of Highway 97 has been completed.
