I would like to express how awesome the new #10 Valley Express bus is. A big thank you to the Resort Municipality of Whistler and Whistler Transit for testing this out. I really hope it continues.
My partner and I are a one-car family with differing work schedules. This would typically mean one more vehicle on the road during Whistler "rush hour" for him to pick me up or drop me off. Time and convenience are important to me (like most), and the previous bus options, which deviated through several neighbourhoods before arriving at my destination (often a 30-minute trip), did not appeal.
The new #10 takes me approximately 10 minutes from door to door, and literally is equivalent to if I drove myself.
It is directly responsible for reducing the number of trips my vehicle goes up and down the highway, and I hope this note encourages others to do the same. Give the #10 a try and I'm sure you'll love it too.
