Public transit users in the North Okanagan will see more frequent bus service in the future.

The Regional District of North Okanagan’s Board of Directors approved several expansion initiatives for the coming years.

Starting in September of 2025, there will be increased weekday service for Route 90 between UBCO and Vernon with three additional round trips per day.

In January of 2026, transit service on Route 60 between Vernon and Enderby and on Route 61 between Vernon and Lumby will be improved by having the weekday variants removed. Route 61 will also see one weekday round trip added, while the Saturday variants for Route 60 will be removed.

Longer term initiatives were also approved by the RDNO’s Board of Directors.
