BOLT Transit ending Saturday service
Changes are coming to the BOLT regional transit service.
Starting Sept. 1, the bus service between Red Deer, Blackfalds and Lacombe will no longer operate on Saturdays.
The decision was made jointly by the City of Lacombe and Town of Blackfalds, with low ridership cited as the main reason for the change.
Other changes taking effect Sept. 4 include new timing and route for the first morning trip running Monday through Friday. The first northbound trip will leave Red Deer (78 Street) at 6:03 a.m. daily instead of 6:15 from Sorensen Station. The first southbound trip from Burman University will leave at 6:46 a.m. daily. This will result in seven trips on weekdays instead of six.
