Free Transit for Holiday Shoppers

COWICHAN VALLEY – Free rides for three days! The Cowichan Valley Regional District (CVRD) and BC Transit are getting into the spirit of the season with free local transit service, including handyDART, on December 13, 14, and 15, 2013.

The free rides come as Cowichan Valley residents are at the height of their holiday preparations. By taking transit to shop or to social gatherings, traffic congestion is reduced and there are no parking worries.

The free service is available on local routes in the Cowichan Valley Regional Transit System, but excludes the Cowichan Valley Commuter to Victoria.

BC Transit and the CVRD encourage everyone to have a safe and green holiday.

If you are searching for the perfect gift — give bus tickets or a monthly bus pass to loved ones and help encourage sustainable transportation.

Honeymoon Bay and Youbou Connector information can be found by calling 250.749.3311 and handyDART inquiries should be directed to 250.748.1230.
