Upgrades to Nanaimo’s transit service have kicked in this week.
This year will see 8700 more hours of service on Nanaimo routes.
5000 of those hours are on the newly renamed route 1 Nanaimo rapid line, which goes between the Woodgrove Centre and Downtown.
2700 new service hours are on an intercity route going from the Woodgrove Centre to Parksville and Qualicum Beach.
The other 1000 new hours are part of a restructured route to Lantzville.
Midcoast Morning explores the changes and the tentative plans for next year’s upgrades.
