BC Transit will be discontinuing a medical bus route from Logan Lake to Kamloops as of May 4th.

Spokesperson Jonathan Dyck says the main reason is low ridership for the route, which runs on Mondays and Wednesdays.

“The Logan Lake to Kamloops service has been seeing low ridership, so what we’ve been seeing is about two medical riders and five total riders per trip on the 20-person bus.”

Dyck says people in Logan Lake have access to a medical bus to Merritt twice per week as well – and he says that will continue to run as normal.

From Merritt, he says people can also connect to medical busses that go to Kamloops and Kelowna.

Dyck also says BC Transit will be adding a twice-weekly medical bus in the Kootenay-Boundary region when it discontinues the Logan Lake-to-Kamloops route, meaning on a provincial standpoint the Crown corporation is not making any cuts to service.
