CHILLIWACK — BC Transit says it will end summer transit service on route 56 to Cultus Lake after the Labour Day long weekend.

In a news release Tuesday morning, BC Transit says it will seasonally discontinue service between Chilliwack and Cultus Lake on Tuesday, September 5.

Sunday service on route 71 serving Agassiz and Harrison Hot Springs will also be seasonally discontinued.

BC Transit says service improvements are coming to the Fraser Valley Express (FVX) aboard route 56, as customers will be able to expect hourly or better service during the weekdays. Afternoon FVX trips at 4:30 p.m. and 5:10 p.m. from Lougheed Station displaying “FVX to Abbotsford” will terminate at McCallum Park and Ride. For direct service to Chilliwack, riders are asked to board a bus that displays “FVX to Chilliwack” or transfer at McCallum Park and Ride.

For the updated timing changes for Route 66 FVX, riders are asked to consult the latest Rider’s Guide, which will be available on September 5. For more information about trip planning, schedules and to sign up for customer alerts, please visit bctransit.com/chilliwack.
