Free Rides for Military Members Past and Present

VICTORIA – The Victoria Regional Transit Commission and BC Transit are offering free rides on Remembrance Day to military personnel in uniform and to customers with Army, Navy or Air Force Association cards.

The free service applies on November 11, 2016. It is a small gesture to honour the many sacrifices of the men and women who serve in the Canadian Armed Forces.

BC Transit also encourages operators, when it is safe to do so, to stop their bus at 11:00 am to observe the traditional minute of silence in memory of war veterans and active military members.

In Victoria, BC Transit will be operating a Sunday schedule for November 11, 2016. For more information on routes and schedules please visit the website, or call 250-382-6161.
