Victoria – Whether you’re planning on basking in the sun, heading to the ferry, or enjoying the garden flowers — hop on the bus and let us do the driving.
BC Transit and the City of Victoria are announcing service changes for select routes in the Victoria Regional Transit System effective July 1, 2019.
BC Transit works hard to match service with demand, the service change aims to provide expanded service to popular summer destinations for residents and visitors.
The service change will include:
- Expanded service on route 53 Langford Exchange/Colwood Exchange to Thetis Lake
- Expanded service to Butchart Gardens on routes 75 Royal Oak/Downtown/Saanichton and 81 Swartz Bay/Butchart Gardens
- Additional weekend service to route 70 Swartz Bay/Downtown to the ferry on Friday, Saturday and Sunday
The service change is expected to accommodate the usual increase in ridership during the summer months in the Victoria Regional Transit System.
In addition to these changes, routes serving schools and post-secondary institutions will undergo their usual seasonal schedule adjustments in response to lower ridership levels typical of the summer. Regular service will resume in the fall.
Please be advised that for Canada Day, routes will be operating on Sunday-level service along with late-night service being provided on select routes.
