Fixed-route regional transit linking Trail, Montrose and Fruitvale.
BC Transit Route 43 and express Route 43X connect Trail, Montrose and Fruitvale. The current timetable includes Montrose stops at 9th Avenue at 4th Street and, for select trips, a highway-only Fas-Gas stop; route 43 also serves Trail stops and the Fruitvale Main Street and Kootenay Avenue stop. Trips vary by weekday, Friday, Saturday, school day and route variant. Check the live schedule before travelling. The Beaver Falls place-name record is an unofficial historic name with Montrose listed as an official other name, so the Beaver Falls community record represents Montrose for this coverage mapping.
