The Prince George Transit System is a hassle-free, low cost, and environmentally-friendly way to get around town. In addition to the fixed route and fixed schedule city bus, we have a
HandyDART service which provides door-to-door service for people with permanent or temporary disabilities who require assistance.

Free Fare for Clean Air
When an air quality advisory is issued and remains until the end of the day, riding on transit is free starting at midnight the next day. The Free Fare for Clean Air Program will remain in effect until midnight of the day the advisory is lifted. This ensures that if you left your car at home to take advantage of the free transit, you will have a free ride home after work. The program is also an incentive to consider leaving your vehicle at home, which leads to reduced emissions and improved air quality.

Transit Future Plan
BC Transit, in collaboration with the City of Prince George, conducted a 25-year
Transit Future Plan for Prince George. A Transit Future Plan envisions what the Prince George transit network should look like 25 years from now, and describes what services, infrastructure, and investments are needed to get there. The plan was designed to support local community goals and objectives, such as strengthening the link between transportation and land use in order to support sustainable growth.

Service Updates
After more than two years of extensive public consultation, the City of Prince George Council recently approved 2500 expansion hours for implementation in September 2017. Based on recommendations from the
Transit Future Plan, these hours will be used to:
- Increase service hours on Sunday
- Increase frequency on some popular routes
- Improve connections where possible
Throughout October of 2016, the City, in partnership with BC Transit, collected feedback from the public on what would be most helpful for their transit needs.
The outcome of this consultation process will be available in 2017.

Free Fares for Class Rides
The City of Prince George is happy to announce the Free Fare for Class Rides program. Prince George City Council approved a one-year trial period to waive transit fares for Prince George school classes, K-12 and daycares, who express interest in using the transit system for field trips.
Free Fare for Class Rides allows classes to use public transit for school trips that are located along transit routes. This program gives students an opportunity to learn to use the transit system, and reduces vehicle emissions by taking advantage of existing bus routes.
- Classes must apply a minimum of 1 week prior to their trip.
- Once approved, the class receives a letter allowing them to board the transit system on the day of their trip.
- An approved class must travel together.
- Each class can only apply to the program twice in a school year.
- Classes must travel on a regular scheduled Prince George Transit route during the off-peak hours of 9:00am to 2:00pm.
Teachers can
apply online for the Free Fares for Class Rides program.
Seniors Transit Challenge
The Seniors Transit Challenge provides seniors with resources to help them navigate the transit system, and collects feedback about their experiences using the transit system.
