Heading off to university or college is an exciting journey, one filled with new experiences and adventures around every corner. Finding new places to explore and things to do around town is a big part of that, and in the Central Fraser Valley it’s as easy as hopping on a bus– so let’s do that!
Taking transit? It’s sightseeing and activities, without the hassle of driving – or parking! This week, we’re hopping on route 1 College/Halliwell in Terrace to see what this 15-minute #StayLocal ride has to offer. Have your #BusPass and mask? Let’s go!
Action-packed from end to end, route 40 VIU Express in the Regional District of Nanaimo provides countless opportunities for a #StayLocal break. So, find your mask and #BusPass – and hop on at VIU exchange!
Just because Thompson River University is nestled in southwest Kamloops below the river, it doesn’t mean you have to stick to that part of town! There’s a lot to do and see, and the 12 km end-to-end route 9 Gleneagles is your gateway to getting out there and experiencing Kamloops.
Whether you’re new in town or have lived in Kelowna your whole life, there’s something about travelling by bus to really get to know the place you’re in. Discover new places, restaurants to eat at, or just wander the outdoors by hopping on the route 8 University/OK College in the Kelowna Regional Transit System and explore the city a little more.
Your route 5 College bus is your affordable transportation ticket to getting around Cranbrook!

Ready to add some flavour to your regular route? Mask up, grab your #BusPass and hop aboard route 15 Downtown/UNBC for a taste of the city’s finest! Whether you seek out new haunts or return to long-held favourites, there’s so much to eat—and see—in Prince George!
Your BC Transit journey doesn’t have to involve just your start and end point, and route 11 Tillicum Centre/UVic in Victoria is a prime example. On a typical weekday, this route travels ~3,000 km and carries over 7,000 passengers. While one of its key tasks is transporting thousands of students and staff to and from UVic, route 11 also links its riders to some of the region’s most extraordinary shops, services and sights!
