It has been a long wait but transit users will finally be able to use the new Queensway transit exchange beginning Sunday, April 26th.
The $5.6 million investment at the Queensway transit exchange has been part of BC Transit’s RapidBus Phase Two and Three Project. The improvements will provide ease of transfer with amenities to provide a more comfortable and convenient environment for transit patrons, operators, and security personnel.

The temporary exchange area on Ellis between Doyle and Bernard will no longer be served by transit. Features of the improved Queensway exchange include a unique, all-weather wood structure above the existing transit island platform and new transit-only access to and from Ellis Street with enhanced pedestrian crossings.
BC Transit’s summer service schedule is in effect starting Sunday, April 26 with select routes seasonally discontinued, including #13 Quail Ridge and #6 Glenmore/UBCO and the discontinuation of #4 Pandosy/UBCO effective June 29th. Service will resume in September. Check out all Kelowna transit routes and schedule changes at www.bctransit.com/regions/kel.
