Victoria Electric Demonstration Bus Arrives

A new chapter in BC Transit’s sustainability journey is underway.

The first 10 electric buses are coming to the Victoria Regional Transit system next summer, marking the start of BC Transit’s transformation to an entirely electric fleet by 2040.

As part of the project, BC Transit recently welcomed the delivery of an electric demonstration bus provided by Proterra Operating Company Inc. (Proterra). The demonstration bus will provide valuable learning opportunities, helping BC Transit get ready to put its first 10 electric buses on the road in 2023.

We know people are excited about BC Transit’s new electric buses and are eager to know more. We expect the demonstration bus to be on the road for testing and training sessions over the coming months.

Stay tuned. We will have more information to share about where and when people can see the demonstration bus in early 2023.
