Perth County is doubling trips on one of their most popular bus routes and suspending another next month, as they strive to improve transit service.
Starting on Sept. 5, PC Connect will be adding four new trips to the Rural Route, which was previously known as Route A. The changes will give riders more opportunities to travel from Stratford, Milverton, Listowel, Mitchell and communities in between.
"Offering increased frequency means that riders will spend less time waiting for the bus, and will have the liberty to better align their travel with their own schedule and commitments," said Maggie Kerr, Transit Project Coordinator. "We are pleased to be able to offer more frequency where there is public transit demand, ultimately creating a faster, more reliable, and more efficient service."
In order to incorporate the added trips on the Rural Route, service will be stopped for the Perth County South Route on Sept. 1. The line, also known as Route B, travelled from Stratford to Mitchell and St Marys, Monday to Friday.
