Concerns as province plans to cut environmental protections
Transit bus connecting Lambton to London to start Aug. 4
July 23, 2020
After years of talk and planning, the bus from Sarnia to Strathroy and London will finally start operating.
The accessible inter-community transit service starts Aug. 4. The province announced funding for the transit link before the pandemic hit.
It will start by operating three round trips daily and two weekend round trips on buses with between 10 and 12 physically distanced customers. Riders will also have to wear a mask or another face covering and they will have to have exact change for the fares.
Fares are based on how far you’re travelling – the cheapest fare will be $5 and the most expensive will be $20 with kids under five riding for free.
Seats will have be reserved at 519-787-1055.
