Bus Information

If you need detailed information on how to find us by bus, call the BC Transit BusLine at 382-6161 or visit the
BC Transit web site. Most buses are wheelchair/scooter friendly but it's always best to call BC Transit and check the accessibility of your trip before you leave. Other transportation options are:

• handyDART
  handyDART is a door-to-door shared-ride custom transportation service. This service is for people who are unable to use the regular transit service some or all of the time due to mobility issues associated with a permanent or temporary physical or cognitive disability.

• Taxi Saver Program
  Taxi Saver Coupons provide another travel option for persons with a disability. They are only available to registered, permanent handyDART clients who are 16 years and older, with a handyPASS. Taxi Saver coupons provide greater convenience for spontaneous trips throughout the Victoria region when handyDART cannot accommodate your travel needs.
