Changes in store for UBCO/Vernon bus route

BC Transit is making changes the UBCO/Vernon bus route that are aimed reducing travel times and increasing access to an area across from Kelowna International Airport.

Improvements to route 90 will be in place on Monday, September 28, 2020.

“Two significant changes for this upcoming service change include the route 90 no longer circling the Oyama Isthmus, and, while heading south on Highway 97, the bus will take a new turn onto Innovation Drive (across from the Kelowna Airport) and will utilize existing bus stops,” a news release from BC Transit said.

Transit said removing the Oyama Isthmus loop was in response to low demand of the bus stops in the area area, and will reduce travel times for customers. Additionally, the route 90 bus previously did not include south-bound stops near Kelowna Airport.
