Seasonal service change coming to the Victoria Regional Transit System

BC Transit is announcing a seasonal service change in the Victoria Regional Transit System effective Monday, April 4, 2022.

BC Transit continues to work hard to provide reliable service for customers, and this service change includes the following:

• Routes 3 and 10 James Bay/Royal Jubilee will complete a loop in James Bay and return to Royal Jubilee Hospital on their respective alignments, no longer interlining in James Bay

• Adjustments to routes 70,71, 72 Swartz Bay/Downtown to accommodate spring ferry traffic

  • Route 70 trip time adjustments to provide greater flexibility for minor ferry delays

  • Service level improvements on routes 71 and 72

• Service level adjustments on routes serving post-secondary institutions to match reduced demand

BC Transit is actively recruiting transit operators in a number of systems across the province and working hard to hire more drivers as we are currently facing a labour shortage like many other customer-facing organizations. As a result of these ongoing labour challenges, this service change includes temporary service reductions on some transit routes across the region. BC Transit will add capacity as more operators are hired in order to address the issue. To learn more about working with BC Transit, visit bctransit.com/careers/drivewithus.
