Buses provide efficient, convenient transport to both campuses.
Bus passes
Students
The Universal Bus Pass (or U-Pass) is included in student fees for students registered in at least one (1) credit course, is revalidated each registration period, and is accessible through BC Transit’s Umo System. The U-Pass gives students access to all buses in the Victoria region.
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.
Ride your bike
Whether a bike is your primary mode of transportation or you're a novice, cycling is a convenient, safe, and efficient option.
