City makes changes to transit zones and routes

Lethbridge City Transit announced that there will be some demand zone tweaks with route and schedule changes beginning on Wednesday. Demand zone changes include Zones 101 to 103 and Route 51 will now travel along Jerry Potts Blvd, Metis Trail and Garry Drive. Joel McDonald, Innovation and Planning Manager with the City of Lethbridge explains why the changes were necessary.  

“As part of our continuous improvement, we do have an innovation and planning committee. We receive feedback from customers through three one one, as well as a lot of our riders. So our our goal is to constantly grow transit as the city grows by finding new ways to better serve our customers, better serve the communities, and provide reliable, dependable service. With the on demand service, we now have coverage to almost 100 per cent of all the residential communities in the city. City of Lethbridge, again mentioning Paradise Canyon and Southridge being two new additions that have never had transit service before. So those are the kind of improvements we’re looking to do today and in the future as this city grows and as transit grows.”
