Seasonal service changes for the Regional District of Nanaimo Transit System

NANAIMO – BC Transit and the Regional District of Nanaimo (RDN) are announcing a seasonal service change in the Regional District of Nanaimo Transit System effective September 5, 2021.
BC Transit and the RDN work hard to match service with demand throughout the year. This seasonal service change will reinstate service levels on several routes to coincide with the start of the school year, increase connectivity between routes and amend the Route 25 ferry shuttle to align with BC Ferries’ Departure Bay – Horseshoe Bay schedule.
The service change will include some extra trips on routes:
  • 1 Downtown/Country Club
  • 5 Fairview
  • 11 Lantzville
  • 15/15A VIU/Woodgrove
  • 20/20A Hammond Bay/Dover
  • 30 NRGH
  • 40 VIU Express
  • 92 Hammond Bay
BC Transit also reminds customers that free transit for Children 12 and under launches on September 1, 2021 and more information on that program is available here.
