Fares
You may pay with cash (exact
coin fare only, drivers carry no change), ticket or one of the
types of bus pass available in your community, including BC
Bus Pass.
Transfers
If you need to use more than one bus to complete your trip
and are using cash or tickets as fare payment, you will need
a transfer to board the connecting bus. Be sure to request the
correct transfer as you pay your fare.
If you need to take more than two buses to complete your trip,
give your transfer to the second driver and request an updated
transfer for the third bus.
Transfers are valid for one-way travel only (you cannot use
it on your return trip). Stop-overs are not permitted and transfers
must be used on the first connecting bus.
Passenger Responsibility
When your bus is approaching your stop, make sure you are in
clear view of the driver and use the "transit wave" to alert
the driver that you are waiting for that bus. If the bus coming
is not your bus, take a step back to signal to driver that you
are not waiting for that bus.
Have your fare ready when you get on the bus and display your
entire monthly or DayPass to the driver. If you are eligible
for discount fare, please display your ID.
If you are using a walkman or other portable music player,
please ensure you are not disturbing other passengers by keeping
the volume down.
When darkness approaches, it becomes difficult for drivers
to see people at bus stops, especially along unlit roads. Please
take safety precautions by wearing light-coloured clothing,
and by carrying a reflective strip and a flashlight.
Boarding the Bus
- Passengers may board only at designated stops, via the front
door of the bus
- Have your fare ready when you board the bus and display
your entire Monthly or DayPass to the driver.
Appropriate Attire
- For safety reasons, drivers will refuse service to passengers not wearing shirts and footwear.
- The bus is a great way to get to and from the beach, lake or pool, but please make sure your clothes are dry when boarding.
On the Bus
- Please remain seated or hold onto one of the stanchions
when the bus is in motion. Do not put your arms or elbows
out of the window.
- Combustible materials such as wet-cell batteries and gasoline
containers cannot be carried.
- To request a stop, pull the bell cord, being sure to allow
the driver enough time to stop safely.
Passengers travelling with youngsters in strollers now have
easier access on low-floor accessible buses.
The stroller can be wheeled onto the bus with the child strapped
in.
Once on board, the passenger can:
- Remove the child from the stroller, collapse the stroller
and store clear of the aisle between the seats, OR
- Allow the child to remain in the stroller and position the
stroller in an unoccupied wheelchair location. The stroller's
brakes should be set, but the restraining straps are not required.
The parent or guardian is responsible for the stroller and
child during the trip and is required to hold on to the stroller
at all times.
Getting off the Bus
- Exit by the rear door when possible.
- After leaving the bus, wait until the bus pulls away and
you have a clear view of any oncoming traffic before crossing
the street.
