CHILLIWACK — B.C. Transit, the City of Chilliwack and the Fraser Valley Regional District say there will be some noticeable changes to its Chilliwack transit service platform starting in the new year, including a name change to route 53 and improvements to routes 51 (Vedder), 57 (Broadway) and 58 (Tyson).

According to a statement from B.C. Transit Thursday (Dec. 21), route 53 Chilliwack will be renamed route 53 Fairfield effective January 7.

To enable better service reliability, schedule adjustments will be made to routes 53, 57 (Broadway) and 58 (Tyson) effective January 7. All three routes are set to run hourly seven days a week, resulting in a corresponding reduction in service to route 53, but an improvement in service to routes 57 and 58. B.C. Transit reports these changes will enable route 58 riders to meet the morning bell time at Mt. Slesse Middle School on Tyson Road.

Timing on route 51 (Vedder) has been adjusted to improve service in the evenings on weekdays and Saturdays. B.C. Transit says there will be a minor reduction in service for route 51 on Sundays and weekdays in the late morning.
