Kings Point to Point Transit: Striving for More in the Community

ings Point to Point Transit has been growing immensely over the past few years and has interesting plans for the future. Originally called “Kings Para KTransit,” it was renamed Kings Point to Point to reflect the fact that it services all residents of Kings County, not only persons with disabilities. KPPT has seen growth in both ridership and number of vehicles on the road. It has managed to increase ridership through simple advertising and word of mouth. The tales of the drivers’ supreme care and attention spread throughout Kings County, and more residents begin to use this service. It also helps that their electric-blue vans are basically giant moving billboards! Brian Taylor, interim general manager of Kings Transit Authority, says, “In gen- eral, people are increasingly choosing public transit, whether it’s for economic, environmental, or convenience reasons to meet their travel needs. “As the population ages and the public becomes increasingly aware of the bene- fits of public transit, along with the commitment by local governments to invest in public transit, I can only see these services [Kings Transit Authority and Kings Point to Point] growing over the next number of years.” Kings Point to Point Transit and Kings Transit Authority intend to begin coordination in their parallel services to better serve the community. Coordination of routes, stops, and times are vital for making transportation faster, more convenient, and more economical for Kings County residents. For instance: If a resident were interested in travelling from Woodville to Wolfville, it would be most economical for them to have KPPT take them to Kentville, where they then can take Kings Transit from Kentville to Wolfville for $3.50, and in the near future we intend to have more of this coordination in our operations.

Besides being a full-time stay-at-home dad to two amazing boys, Adrian is also a part-time cardmaker and self-taught paper-cut artist. He was inspired and taught by a book given to him when he was 7, the Tale of the One Way Street, a collection of fantastic modern folk tales illustrated by a Polish paper-cut movies and wine, and every now and then artist.

I am not a gardener, for I do not have the time or patience to weed, hoe, plant, reap, sow, dig, spade, harvest, water, seed etc, so I let others who enjoy it do what they do best! I respect those who take the time to tend to their crops and spend hours pulling and discarding the annoying weeds that creep into their flowerbeds, trying to overpower the nice plants. I do not garden in the dirt, I do not pick berries or cultivate what I end up eating… I do, however, tend to Wolfville’s vast garden of people crops! 9701 Commercial St Greenwich At church this morning, the incredible Dr. Barry Morrison spoke using the same
