Friendship House, which operates the popular twice a week bus shuttle between Prince Rupert and Terrace is making a few changes to their service this month.
The first a temporary one related to the shuttle van, which will see the organization using a smaller version for the near future.
As a result of that the capacity is limited to just thirteen passengers for the trip.
The other change is to the schedule of operations, with a bit more time for those travelling to Terrace before they make the return to Rupert.
The new schedule and some notes towards it was relayed through the Friendship House Social Media stream.
Every Tuesday and Thursday:Leave FHAPR at 9:00 am check in 8:45 am
Leave Terrace at 2:30 pm check in 2:15 pm
You can book by phone 250-627-1717 or email reception2@friendshiphouse.ca
Just provide name, date of travel, phone number and I.D.
No food or drink on the bus and 1 bag per passenger

I thought that this service was offered through funding from the province, after the missing and murdered women's inquiry. I note that regular bus service I offered in inland areas through bc transit and funded. It was my understanding that friendship house took this on as a local solution. Please explain if I am wrong.
ReplyDeleteBack in 2016 City Council and other local stakeholders decided not to participate in the province led BC Transit program to provide shuttle service between communities.
