BC Transit's 1996/97 Annual Service Plan says Lougheed Mall to UBC. If
it stops at Granville there will be a UBC student revolt against BC
Transit! Service will be 6 a.m. to 8 p.m. weekdays and cover 10 hours
on Saturdays. Frequencies should be 8-10 minutes peak, 10-15 minutes
off peak.

BTW, just heard (3:10 p.m.) on the scanner that BCT has eight bus
cancellations out of Oakridge Garage this afternoon due to a lack of
drivers. There will likely be more cancellations later in the day when
they run out of buses, as they usually do. One bus out of North Van
was cancelled, not sure about the other garages.
