BC Passenger Transportation Board holds public meetings on proposed schedule changes
Castlegar, BC – Alex Atamanenko, MP – BC Southern Interior – Greyhound Canada has modified its application to reduce service to the West Kootenay region, according to the BC Passenger Transportation Board. In conjunction, there will be series of public meetings held to which members of the public are invited to provide input.
“Although this information was distributed through local media, I consider these public meetings important enough to want to remind people in the West Kootenays to come and express their views about the changes to the application by Greyhound to the BC Passenger Transportation Board,” said Alex Atamanenko, MP for BC Southern Interior. “Tomorrow is the deadline to register as a speaker at these meetings – those interested should contact the BC Passenger Transportation Board immediately.”
