Bus service transferring to new Victoria Street exchange on Monday

Nelson’s Victoria Street Transit Exchange will open on Monday, with bus service set to move from its current home between Ward and Baker Streets to it’s new home between Kootenay and Stanley Street. 

Crews are still working on the last leg of roadwork, which will see the 300th Block of Victoria Street closed from June 26 to June 30.  

While the new transit exchange will be open for bus service on Monday, the finishing touches are still in progress. Bus shelters will be installed later this summer. Landscaping will be completed in the fall. 

“The Victoria Street Transit Exchange will facilitate more frequent, regularly scheduled and aligned routes that will better connect residents and students to destinations within the region,” said the City in a press release.    

There will be some minor schedule and routing changes on all routes that service the City of Nelson. Transit users are encouraged to visit BC Transit’s website for up-to-date trip schedules and maps.    

The City plans to decommission the previous transit shelter at Ward Street and Baker Street this summer, which will result in a number of parking changes to increase the number of stalls in the area.
