If you ride BC Bus North between Prince George and Valemount, you'll want to be aware of schedule changes on Route 200.
The Ministry of Transportation and Infrastructure says they have received feedback that indicated a preference to have it start in Valemount in the morning rather than Prince George.
After looking at possible changes, it has been announced that Route 200 will start in the Robson Valley in the morning, travel to Prince George, and then return late in the evening.
