New RapidBus offers more trips with fewer stops

A new era for rapid transit in Greater Victoria began this week with the launch of BC Transit‘s Blink RapidBus Route 95. The first of the orange-topped buses hit the road Monday, taking passengers from Downtown Victoria to Langford. The new route replaces Route 50 and promises more convenient service with buses running every seven to eight minutes in peak times.

“Rapid transit takes time to implement, so while this modest step will increase our service levels, frequency and reliability for customers, more infrastructure is needed to make Blink RapidBus even faster,” states BC Transit’s website.
