Transit System: South Okanagan-Similkameen
South Okanagan-Similkameen — Join BC Transit, the Regional District of Okanagan-Similkameen (RDOS), the District of Summerland and the City of Penticton in celebrating Earth Day on Thursday, April 22 by leaving your car at home and taking the bus for free in the South Okanagan-Similkameen Transit System!
BC Transit, the RDOS, the District of Summerland and the City of Penticton are proud to participate in Earth Day initiatives and are pleased to offer free transit on both conventional routes, On-Request and handyDART services in the region throughout the day. Just hop on board and enjoy the ride!
Earth Day helps shine a spotlight on the importance of sustainability and encourages people to make choices that will help protect our environment. Choosing transit instead of driving is one easy way to take action. It not only helps to ease traffic congestion, but also decreases greenhouse emissions by reducing the number of vehicles on the road.
To help support other sustainable transportation options, all conventional BC Transit buses are equipped with bike racks in the front. Check out some of BC Transit’s sustainability initiatives at

As a reminder, face coverings are mandatory on all BC Transit buses. Learn more about Earth Day history, activities, campaigns and more, by visiting
