Customer Service & Information There are several services to help you use BC Transit safely, effectively and efficiently. For schedules and recommended route information you may call (250) 382-6161 24 hours a day. A BC Transit representative will tell (even mail you a map if you ask) the best route to take when you tell them your starting point and destination. Any concerns, suggestions or commendations regarding BC Transit may be voiced by dialing the same number. Access for Persons with Limited Mobility BC Transit was the first transit system in Canada to incorporate low floor busses (also called "kneeling busses") into its fleet for those who are in wheelchairs and who have difficulty climbing stairs. Unique in design, low floor busses are equipped with retractable ramps. BC Transit also offers the HandyDART buses, which provide convenient door-to-door transportation for people with special needs. Any person unable to use regular transit due to a physical or mental impairment is eligible for handyDART service. To book a trip (and to register with handyDART), phone 727-7811 anytime after 8:00 am seven days a week. You can use the HandyDART service for regular recurring trips or for one-time trips including for shopping, social visits or recreational activities between 7 am and 10 pm (8 am on weekends and holidays). HandyDART users can purchase tickets on an individual basis, or buy a monthly pass.
