New BC Transit service coming in spring 2025

In early 2024, the Alberni-Clayoquot Regional District (ACRD) launched an interim public transit service to connect residents and visitors of Tofino, Ucluelet, Long Beach, and the First Nation communities of Toquaht, Yuułuʔiłʔatḥ Government, Hitacu, Esowista and Ty-histanis. 

This fixed route service offers seven weekday round trips and four weekend round trips, and more information is available on the ACRD website.

The existing service will be replaced in March 2025 by a BC Transit service, made possible by funding from the ACRD and provincial government, which approved this service in the 2024-25 provincial budget.

The routing and scheduling for the future West Coast Regional Transit System are currently in development. This work is being guided by the 2020 West Coast Transit Service Plan, which built on a previous feasibility study, and included detailed analysis and two phases of public engagement. 

More details about this future service will be made available in early 2025.
