Berry & Smith Trucking and its subsidiary company Penticton Transit
Service Ltd has been operating since 1977 when transit service began in
Penticton. Penticton was the first community in North America to have a
fully accessible low floor bus fleet. Well over 6 million riders have
ridden the buses and enjoyed the ability to board the bus using a wheel
chair, scooter or some other mobility aid. The drivers have a reputation of
being friendly and doing what they can to assist those that need special
assistance. Penticton's transit fleet is doing its part to "Go Green" and
is operating on bio diesel fuel to reduce green house gas emissions. The
city of Penticton has adopted a progressive monthly pricing format to
encourage our youth riders to use the bus at reduced fares encouraging
ridership. All city buses are equipped with bike racks, offering passengers
the opportunity to cycle one way and ride one way. Penticton has been
working hard to expand the number of bus benches and shelters at various key
locations as well as improved signage with specific time and stop
information.
Our company has provided transit service for the Regional District since
1994 with a wheel chair accessible community bus operating to and from
Naramata 6 days per week.
