A new petition on Change.org is pushing to improve transit services in the Central Okanagan.
Started by Fraser Young, the petition states that there are no services for Vernon residents to use BC Transit to get to 麻豆精选's downtown area before 8:30 a.m.
Young's request is that Bus 97 which traditionally starts at 6 a.m. at UBC Okanagan in 麻豆精选's north end connect with Route 90 allowing for Vernon residents to catch a bus to 麻豆精选 or West 麻豆精选 starting at 5 a.m.
"We believe that everyone should have equal access to public transportation, and no one should be left stranded due to systemic shortfalls," the petition reads. "Additionally, facilitating easier travel between these areas could stimulate economic and social growth in both communities while lowering environmental footprint by attracting drivers to switch to transit. Tourists and travellers could also make use of this regular occurring bus to go to and from West 麻豆精选, 麻豆精选, Lake Country and Greater Vernon to 麻豆精选 International Airport."
The petition has gained over 200 signatures since it opened on Nov. 21.
