The City of Williams Lake and BC Transit are pleased to announce expanded handyDART services in the community. Effective October 1, 2012 an extra 435 service hours (30 minutes per weekday and six hours on Saturdays) will be added to better serve the growing need for custom public transit.
HandyDART service will extended to 5 p.m. from 4:30 p.m. on weekdays, and Saturday service from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. will be added. The project is funded jointly by the City of Williams Lake ($3,500) and BC Transit ($3,900).
“The need for more transit service for our seniors were heard loud and clear during our budget process, and we are pleased that by working with BC Transit, we are able to offer this expanded service,” says Mayor Kerry Cook. “Partnerships such as this are what allow us to be responsive to the community’s needs.”
“handyDART is a vital service that links our customers to their community,” says BC Transit President and CEO Manuel Achadinha. “With greater service options, the whole community can benefit.”
BC Transit is proud to promote its fully accessible fleet. The handyDART service is door-to-door and available to qualified riders. BC Transit buses, in regular service in Williams Lake, are equipped with low floors and ramps that accommodate customers with mobility limitations.
