For every community that we’re in, we work together to find the best solutions. Read on to learn about what we’ve implemented, and remember – whether its work, groceries, prescriptions or appointments, we’re here for you.
Real-Time Updates
To help riders plan their journey in the Comox Valley, Kamloops, Kelowna, Nanaimo, Squamish, Victoria and Whistler, NextRide now shows passenger loads in real-time. Green means the bus is carrying a light load, yellow for a medium load and red indicates the bus is full. Across the rest of BC, the best way to stay updated is by calling your customer information line http://go.bctransit.com/D8N350zzVLC
Enhanced Red Line
The lines of red tape installed between the driver and passenger zone further improve physical distancing.
Vinyl Panels
Vinyl panels are installed in buses without full driver doors and create a safer environment for rider-driver interaction.
On-Road Support & Supplies
Just like always, our on-road support for drivers is working at full capacity. We’re able to provide our teams with the supplies, amenities and practices they need to work safely.

Limited Rider Capacity
The number of riders on board is reduced to enable physical distancing while seated or moving through the bus. When a bus is full, it will display “Drop Off Only”. We also request that riders give their driver and each other space. To help remember, onboard announcements are made throughout the trip.

Rear Door Boarding
To improve physical distancing during the emergency period, we waived fares and riders without accessibility needs entered through the rear doors. On June 1, we’ll return to front door boarding and fare collection with extra safety measures and the Provincial Health Officer’s direction. Enhanced cleaning, physical distancing on board, limited passenger capacity and the red line will remain in place.
