Chilliwack/Victoria – BC Transit is informing customers that several transit routes are being renumbered in the Chilliwack Transit System effective Sunday March 27.
Routes are being renumbered in order to avoid confusion between the Central Fraser Valley Transit System and the Chilliwack Transit System, as there are duplicate route numbers. While this has not been an issue to this point, with the introduction of new automatic vehicle location technology being installed on buses throughout the province, the renumbering of some routes is necessary.
While route names will not change, not having duplicate route numbers will help avoid confusion for transit users planning their routes between multiple systems. Transit users should look for temporary signage at bus stops until permanent signage is installed.
FVX#66 Fraser Valley Express will not change numbers.
The new route numbers are:
| Current: | Changing to: |
| 1 Veddar | 51 Veddar |
| 2 Evans | 52 Evans |
| 3 Chilliwack | 53 Chilliwack |
| 4 Promontory | 54 Promontory |
| 5 Yarrow – Greendale | 55 Yarrow – Greendale |
| 6 Cultus Lake | 56 Cultus Lake |
| 7 Broadway | 57 Broadway |
| 8 Tyson | 58 Tyson |
| 9 Industrial | 59 Industrial |
| 11 Agassiz – Harrison | 71 Agassiz – Harrison |
| 22 Hope | 72 Hope |
