Fall service with new fares and increased handyDART service in Kamloops
Transit System: Kamloops
18 August 2025
BC Transit and the City of Kamloops are advising customers of an upcoming service change, effective September 2, 2025.
With the start of the new school year, weekday schedules for routes that serve Thompson Rivers University and K–12 schools will be increased.
The fall service change includes an expansion to the Kamloops handyDART service. Starting September 2, handyDART service will be available on Sundays from 9 a.m. until 9 p.m. Holiday service will match fixed-route transit service.
This service expansion for Kamloops’ handyDART service 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.
Starting September 1, 2025, fares in Kamloops will be changing as well.
