What is “Bus the North?”

Bus the North is an initiative aimed at increasing awareness of and ridership on public transportation services in Northern BC.

What kind of buses are available?

Services range from large coach-style buses that connect over long distances such as the BC Bus North and Health Connections, to regional transit buses operated by BC Transit, to small shuttle buses and vans providing service in smaller communities and to regional centres.

Some services offer same-day return trips while others covering longer distances may operate less frequently. All of the services layer together and cover different areas, lengths of travel and travel needs.

Who can use these bus services?

Most of the bus services can be booked and used by anyone. However, some community shuttles or medical transportation programs may have requirements in place on who can or cannot use their services.

Contact the transportation provider directly for questions about who can use their services. You can find their contact information under “Transportation Options”.

Where can I find the bus schedules and routes?

The transportation providers each have their own bus schedules and routes across Northern BC. Visit their website for the latest information on schedules and routes or call the phone number that is listed under “Transportation Options”.

Are the buses accessible?

The transportation providers aim to work with a variety of travel and accessibility needs.

Always check directly with the transportation provider for the accessibility features of their vehicles before booking your trip. You can find their contact information under “Transportation Options”.
