A new RapidBus service is replacing the 50 route from Langford to downtown Victoria and will have more service and fewer stops, according to BC Transit.

The new bus route, the 95 Blink RapidBus, launched on April 10 with the current 50 route being discontinued the same day. In Langford, the bus will stop at seven fewer stops, and four fewer in Saanich and Victoria. In removing some stops, BC Transit said it aimed to keep an average of 600 metres between the stops.
BC Transit says there will be 21 more weekday trips on route 95 than the current route, 11 more on Saturdays, and 20 on Sundays.CHEK NewsletterSign Me Up
