History

South Okanagan-Similkameen Transit System was created on July 1, 2017 through the merger of five local systems: Penticton Transit System, Princeton & Area Transit System, Okanagan-Similkameen Transit System (Naramata/Okanagan Falls), South Okanagan Transit System (Osoyoos), and Summerland Transit System.[1] The merger of the systems will centralize information from 5 systems into one Rider's Guide and website, and introduce a new harmonized fare structure.
