The City of Swift Current is gearing up for the possible introduction of scheduled transit service.

The 2012 Budget included the purchase of two used buses later this year in anticipation of a scheduled service to go along with the existing door-to-door Tel-a-Bus.

Engineering Director Mac Forster says having both would be ideal.

“We recognize that the door-to-door service provided by our Tel-a-bus is valuable to certain users of our transit system however, establishing a route within the city is also a priority.”

Forster adds a preliminary investigation indicated that the city can run a primary bus route, with the Tel-a-Bus running from certain transfer points along that route.
