| The Friendship House Travel program is off the road for a few days owing to maintenance needs |
Those in Prince Rupert who were planning to travel to Tuesday today aboard the Friendship House Transportation service heard some bad news on Monday, with the local organization cancelling today's run noting that Thursday's travels may be on hold as well.
Maintenance work on the Friendship House van is the reason given in a social media message Monday as to the suspension of travel for the time bing, with travellers advised to follow their Social Media stream for updates on the service.
The Friendship House route is one of only a few options for Prince Rupert residents to travel east, with the BC Bus North and Northern Health Connections Bus both also serving the community but on limited schedules as well.
While many other Northwest communities have come together to form a BC Transit based network to connect the cities and towns through to Prince George, Prince Rupert has chosen to remain outside of that loop a decision reached in 2016 by the previous Prince Rupert City Council,.
The newly installed City Council of 2022, though one with many of the previous members still in place, has not shown any public interest in taking up the standing offer to link in with the Routes that travel from Terrace to points east.
More notes on travel along Highway 16 can be reviewed from our archive page.
