KV Go

A Kennebecasis Valley trial transit option.

The municipalities of Quispamsis and Rothesay are proud partners in KV Go, a Demonstration Project that will test a new transit solution for the Kennebecasis Valley.

Beginning Monday, August 11, KV Go will provide free, daytime bus transportation to a limited number of key locations throughout the communities for a few months this summer and into the fall. It functions as a "stop-to-stop" transit service on two (2) fixed routes during weekdays and one (1) fixed route on weekends.

The goal is to provide the framework for a long-term transit option for the Kennebecasis Valley, which would improve access for individuals and families in Quispamsis and Rothesay to run errands to grocery stores, banks, medical appointments, visit municipal parks and facilities, and other important services.
