BC Transit is expanding its services on the Westside.
Three new routes have been added.
The expansions were made to match the increasing demand in public transit in Kelowna.
Those new routes take effect September 1st.
Route 24 Shannon Ridge: This will partially replace the existing Shannon Lake 24 route, while also providing service to homes on Shannon Ridge Dr. and Auburn Rd.
Route 26 Old Okanagan: This will also partially replace the existing Shannon Lake 24 route and service the Old Okanagan Hwy.
Route 28 Shannon Lake: This route will replace 28 Smith Creek while maintaining its service to the Smith Creek area and extending service to Tallus Ridge, Shannon Woods and Crystal Springs neighbourhoods.
Route 97 Okanagan: This route will see improved service on Sundays and weekday evenings on the Westside.
Route 8 University/OK College: This route will have improved midday service on weekdays and a light decrease in Saturday service to improve Sunday service.
Route 23 Lake Country: One weekday peak morning and late evening trip will extend to the Ellison area.
Route 15 Crawford: This route will see minor trip reductions due to lower demand.
