Personal Items on Buses
Please be aware that all items carried on BC Transit buses must:
- Be clean;
- Be safe and free of sharp edges;
- Not leak;
- Odor free; and,
- Self-Contained.
For safety reasons, customers on fixed-route transit must place and hold any items carried on board the bus on their lap or on the floor where they will not obstruct the aisle or other customers.
Customers with two-wheeled or four-wheeled, foldable shopping carts can sit in the courtesy seating area where a seat can be flipped up to make room for the cart, or elsewhere if the cart is folded up. In all cases the cart must not block the aisle and the customer should hold onto the cart at all times.
