About the Public Transit Schedule

Transit schedules are for guidance only. There are several unexpected events that can cause a bus to be a few minutes early or late for a scheduled stop. So it's best to be at your bus stop at least five minutes before the scheduled arrival of your bus.

When do the buses run?

The conventional buses run seven days a week. On Monday to Fridays they run from 5:00 a.m. until 12:15 a.m.(just past midnight). On Saturday, Sunday and holidays they run from 7:00 a.m. to 12:15 a.m.

Where do the buses go?

Buses route to most built-up residential neighbourhoods between the Langdale, Gibsons and Sechelt. In addition, there is service to Halfmoon Bay and limited service on Saturday, Sunday and holidays to Secret Cove in the summertime.

How Do I Pay?

You may pay with cash (exact coin fare only, drivers carry no change), ticket or one of the types of pass available in your community, including BC Bus Pass and CNIB Pass, where available.

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 a transfer when you board the bus.

If you need to take more than two buses to complete your trip, you may use the same transfer. Please show your transfer to the driver, face-up with time and route punch showing.

Transfers are valid for one-way travel only (you cannot use it on your return trip). Stopovers are not permitted, and transfers must be used on the first connecting bus.

Boarding the Bus

You 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.

Priority Seating

The priority seating up front on the bus is designated for people with disabilities, seniors and passengers with children in strollers—in that order. Please respect the priority seating designations, and be prepared to move if the driver asks you to.

Safety 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. Do not bring combustible materials such as wet-cell batteries and gasoline containers onto the bus. To request a stop, pull the bell cord in time for your driver to be able to stop safely.

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 you cross the street.

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 keep the volume down to ensure that you are not disturbing other passengers.

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.
