BC Transit and the City of Fort St. John are temporarily suspending two bus routes for the summer as demand declines following the end of the school year.
In a news release issued Monday, June 15, BC Transit said Route 4 Southeast and Route 5 Southwest will be taken out of service beginning June 28.
The transit agency said the seasonal changes reflect lower ridership during the summer months. Service previously provided by the two routes will be redistributed to Route 2 Southside and Route 3 Central-Prospect Park.
Route 4 Southeast serves several destinations, including the Fort St. John Cultural Centre, Fort St. John Medical Clinic, Robert Ogilvie Elementary School, Duncan Cran Elementary School and nearby parks.
Route 5 Southwest provides service to schools and other locations in the southwest part of the city, including Ecole Central Elementary School, Bert Bowes Middle School, North Peace Secondary School, Totem Mall and city hall.
BC Transit said the two routes are expected to return to regular service in September when students head back to school.
