Two new routes and changes to others are part of a long-term vision for the Kelowna Regional Transit System.

The new Route 98 Rutland/UBCO will provide express service between UBC Okanagan (UBCO) and Rutland. Some existing trips on Route 97 Okanagan will shift to Route 98. 

The new Route 84 Academy Way replaces Route 4 Pandosy/UBCO and travels between Academy Way and UBCO with additional trips to be added over time. 

Route 4 Pandosy/Orchard Park will continue to provide service between South Pandosy and Orchard Park.

Other changes this fall include:

Route 13 Quail Ridge will be expanded during the school year with more morning and evening trips;
Adjustments to Route 19 Glenmore will be introduced on Drysdale Boulevard between Kane Road and Glen Park Drive.

Mid-day and weekend service will be increased on the following routes:
Route 1 Lakeshore;
Route 5 Gordon;
Route 8 University/OK College;
Route 10 North Rutland;
Route 11 Rutland.

BC Transit and City of Kelowna Staff will be on-site to answer questions and provide support to passengers about the changes.
