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.

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.

Transit Future Plan - Executive Summary
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.
Promotions
In July 2017, Council approved a Free Transit Fare Policy. The policy provides free transit fares on Prince George's transit system for the promotions below. This policy helps to promote transit and provide transit education to new users.
Clean Air Day
Clean Air Day is celebrated on Wednesday of Canada's Environment Week. Everyone can ride the bus for free on Clean Air Day to help improve our air quality. Plan ahead to leave your car at home, and make your trips sustainable.
For other ways you can improve air quality,
visit our Air Quality page.
general election days
On general voting days for local elections, referendum/assent voting, federal and provincial elections, and by-elections, transit is free for all riders. The free fares do not apply for any advanced voting days.
Bike to School and Work Week
Registered participants of
bike to school and work week in Prince George can show the bus driver their helmet during bike to work week to ride the bus for free. If you have a challenging commute, you can still participate in bike to work week by using the bus for part of your trip.
Food for Fare
On Canada Day, and over three days in December, you can donate a non-perishable food item to ride the bus. All donations go to a community food bank.
To find out when the December food for fare promotion runs, visit our
Rider Alerts page.
National Seniors Day
On the recommendation of the participants of the Seniors Transit Challenge (Spring 2017), fares will be free for persons 65 or over with valid I.D. on October 1st of every year. Seniors can try the bus system to become familiar with their transportation options.
We also worked with the participants of the Seniors Transit Challenge to create a travel training guide that new users can use to get familiar with the system.
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 the program 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 2 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.
- A maximum of 35 people can travel on any one trip (including adult helpers).
- 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.
