Transit System: Pemberton Valley, Squamish, Whistler
BC Transit is informing customers there are no further updates on the labour action at this time, and service continues to be suspended. We are closely monitoring the situation and hope the parties will find a resolution soon.
However, handyDART service in Squamish, which is deemed an essential service, will operate with full service hours on weekdays. BC Transit sincerely apologizes to customers for the inconvenience caused by this matter. BC Transit understands the frustration felt by customers, and that the job action is difficult for everyone involved in the region.
BC Transit is the Provincial Crown Agency responsible for the delivery of transit services outside of Greater Vancouver. We contract the services of private operating companies to deliver these transit services. These companies hire and manage their own workforces.
The labour dispute is between BC Transit’s contractors – Whistler Transit Ltd. and Diversified Transit – and their unionized employees.
BC Transit will update customers as more information becomes available. We encourage customers to sign up to receive alerts for their specific transit system at bctransit.com/whistler, bctransit.com/squamish and bctransit.com/pemberton-valley. Customers may also follow @BCTransit on Twitter for updates.
