Transition Kamloops joins new provincial transit alliance

The state of public transportation in BC (between towns and within them) is a source of frustration for many, particularly the one third of us who don’t drive.

The new Public Transit Alliance of BC will focus on ensuring that public transportation works for all of us—in the North, the Interior, on the Islands, in our towns and cities, and in rural and remote communities where public transit is still inaccessible, unavailable, or effectively non-existent. The alliance will also support railways wherever they are feasible.
