Lacombe considering viability of BOLT Regional Transit
Concern over ridership numbers for the BOLT Regional Transit system has the City of Lacombe looking further into the service’s long-term viability.
Earlier this week, both Lacombe City Council and Town of Blackfalds Council were presented with a detailed service review of BOLT Regional Transit which currently offers six days-a-week transit service between Red Deer, Blackfalds and Lacombe.
Lacombe Mayor Grant Creasey says they essentially want to ensure the City is providing the type of service that would be best-suited for the community.
“We’ve sent it back to administration to receive some additional information,” says Creasey. “We’re looking at the costs and implications of ending the service and also of enhancing the service. I would suggest that obviously there is some discontent with the way that it is now.”
