Transit changes frustrate

Bus routes juggled around to make up for lost hours, students left frustrated Changes to the transit system have changed the way TRU students and staff ride the bus to the university. The changes most relevant to students are the removal of Number 8 Battle Street route and the changes that have been made to the 7 and 9 buses to accommodate the lost route. The 7 will serve the Sahali-Bestwick and Battle neighbourhoods, as well as its normal route through Aberdeen. This significantly lengthens the travel distance of the route. According to City of Kamloops engineering manager Deven Matkowski, all decisions regarding route adjustments are jointly decided between BC Transit planners and the City of Kamloops. • CONTINUES page 4
