West Coast Transit System service expansion 

BC Transit and the Alberni-Clayoquot Regional District (ACRD) are announcing a transit expansion, effective January 4, 2026.  

As part of this service expansion, there will be additional midday trips between hitaću, Ucluelet, and Tofino.  

Late night service will be reintroduced, leaving Ucluelet at 9:20 p.m. and Tofino at 10:25 p.m. 

This service expansion in the West Coast Transit System has been made possible by an increase in local government and provincial funding. The operating grant provided in the 2025-26 provincial budget will allow BC Transit and its local government partners to continue to provide safe and reliable service and demonstrates that public transit remains a priority in our communities.
