We’ve got some good news for you, Victorians!
BC Transit will be offering free rides across the Victoria Regional Transit System on Wednesday, April 22nd in recognition of Earth Day.
Earth Day is an opportunity to reflect on our commitment to reduce greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions and protect the environment.
Taking BC Transit is one way to make a difference. Both fixed-route and handyDART routes will be providing free services in honour of that commitment.
The company says that they are proud to work towards CleanBC climate goals, and has taken several steps over the years to support sustainability and a healthier planet, including the Electrification and Updated Fleet Acquisition Strategy.
Through the Low Carbon Fleet Program, BC Transit is continuing to modernize the fleet and reduce emissions.
They are continuing this work with the Electric Bus Project, which will see 125 new electric buses join fleets in Victoria, Nanaimo, Kamloops, Kelowna, Nelson, Powell River, the Sunshine Coast and Whistler.
In an effort to maintain this commitment to sustainability, the company is also working to procure heavy-duty hybrid buses, which will help even more communities reduce GHG emissions.
You can use the Umo app, Google Transit or any other app that provides real-time bus tracking to plan your transit journey.
