Thanks to everyone who joined us yesterday at our Earth Day rally to call for fare-free transit for teens! We had speeches from teachers, bus driver, politicians, and teens.

Transit was free on Earth Day, but every day should be "Earth Day"!

TransDev is the foreign-owned, for-profit company that profited during the prolonged Cowichan Valley bus strike in 2025. They had no incentive to negotiate a fair deal, and transit union members warn that it could happen again. We must demand an end to the private contracting of “public” transit, and make sure our services are truly serving the public. #yyj #bctransit

Decision on direct bus from downtown Victoria to airport pushed to May

The proposal is to have the existing Route 72 bus between the Swartz Bay ferry terminal and downtown Victoria serve both the airport and ferry terminal on all trips. #yyj #transit #bctransit

LET'S RIDE! BC Wide Bus Jan 2

Here's the Schedules for the 3 systems connecting the Comox to Nanaimo, Cowichan, and Victoria:

Comox (#10 Fanny Bay-Deep Bay): https://www.bctransit.com/comox-valley/schedules-and-maps/riders-guide/
Nanaimo (#93 Deep Bay, #9 Qualicum, #1 NRL) : https://www.bctransit.com/nanaimo/riderinfo/
Cowichan (#66 CVX, #70 NCX): https://www.bctransit.com/cowichan-valley/schedules-and-maps/riders-guide/

The irony is, of course, that there these buses all run alongside the @vibyrail Island Railway, with stops often adjacent to the tracks. It does seem a little... ironic.
