Public Transit

Bus Passes

Students

The Universal Bus Pass (or U-Pass)—included in student fees, incorporated into your student ID, and revalidated each registration period—allows credit students unlimited access to all buses in the Victoria region at all times.

Special Education and Professional Studies and Industry Training students are not eligible for the U-Pass program.

Employees

As a Camosun employee, you are eligible for a year-long ProPass bus pass at a reduced yearly cost. Application forms are available on The Intranet under Facilities Services, Transportation & Parking. The ProPass is a federal tax-deductible expense.

Accessibility options

BC Transit provides a variety of options for accessibility. 

If you have a disability that prevents you from using regular public transit buses some or all of the time, you may be eligible for door-to-door custom transit services via HandyDart.

Bike and ride

Try riding your bike one way and taking the bus the other. If your commute is too long to cycle the entire way, try cycling a portion and busing the next.

Victoria Regional Transit has a two bike rack system on every low-floor and double-decker bus routes to assist in longer commutes.
