Starting Nov. 6, 2017, BC Transit will make adjustments to the schedules for routes 161 (Burns Lake to Prince George) and 162 (Burns Lake to Smithers) to accommodate winter driving conditions.
For route 161, all trips between Burns Lake and Prince George will continue to leave at the existing scheduled times, but arrival times at each destination will be scheduled for later.
According to BC Transit, this will build in extra travel time to ensure the safety of drivers and passengers during the winter.
