BC Transit buses are exempt from Motor Vehicle Act regulations when the vehicle is not equipped or required.
When our buses are equipped with seatbelts, there will be signage stating the legal requirements of passengers to wear the seatbelts provided.
Child Seats and Booster Seats
If your child is under 9 years of age they must be secured by one of the following:
- Held on a guardian’s lap.
- Buckled into a seatbelt using an appropriate child seat or booster seat when the bus has shoulder belts.
- In a stroller with brakes applied.
- Some buses are equipped with an Integrated Child Seat (ICS) with a 5-point harness, and should be used.
- Do not use a booster seat with only a lap belt.
Seatbelt Extenders
- Only BC Transit supplied OEM extenders may be used (Personal extenders not allowed)
- Use only if the seatbelt doesn’t reach after testing.
