Fares
You may pay with cash
(exact coin fare only, drivers carry no change), ticket, DayPass,
Monthly Pass, BC Bus Pass or CNIB Pass.
Transfers
If you are paying cash or using tickets, and have to travel
on more than one bus to complete your trip, you will need
a transfer from the driver.
Be sure to request your transfer as you pay your fare. If
you have to take more than two buses to complete your trip,
you can use the same transfer.
Transfers are free, and they are good for one-way travel.
When you board your connecting bus, show your transfer to
the driver with the transfer facing up, and the time showing.
Boarding the Bus
You may board only at designated stops, via the front door
of the bus. Have your fare ready when you board the bus, or
display your entire Pass to the driver.
Appropriate Attire
- For safety reasons, drivers will refuse service to passengers
not wearing shirts and footwear.
- The bus is a great way to get to and from the beach, lake
or pool, but please make sure your clothes are dry when
boarding.
The priority seating up front on the bus is designated for
people with disabilities, passengers with children in strollers
and seniors—in that order. Please respect the priority
seating designations, and be prepared to move if the driver
asks you to.
Safety on the Bus
Please remain seated or hold onto one of the stanchions when
the bus is in motion. Do not put your arms or elbows out of
the window. Do not bring combustible materials such as wet-cell
batteries and gasoline containers onto the bus. To request
a stop, pull the bell cord in time for your driver to be able
to stop safely.
Getting off the Bus
Exit by the rear door when possible. After leaving the bus,
wait until the bus pulls away and you have a clear view of
any on-coming traffic before you cross the street.
Passenger Responsibility
When your bus is approaching your stop, make sure you are
in clear view of the driver and use the "transit wave" to
alert the driver that you are waiting for that bus. If the
bus coming is not your bus, take a step back to signal to
driver that you are not waiting for that bus.
Have your fare ready when you get on the bus and display
your entire monthly or DayPass to the driver. If you are eligible
for discount fare, please display your ID.
If you are using a walkman or other portable music player,
please keep the volume down to ensure that you are not disturbing
other passengers.
When darkness approaches, it becomes difficult for drivers
to see people at bus stops, especially along unlit roads.
Please take safety precautions by wearing light-coloured clothing,
and by carrying a reflective strip and a flashlight.
If you lose something on the bus, call Lost and Found at
250-376-1216. If you find something on the bus, give it to
the driver, who will deliver it to Lost and Found.
Kamloops Transit will keep articles in the Lost and Found
for up to 90 days. If you call Lost and Found and your article

Then it gets sent to a charitable organisation.
Lost and Found is located at the Kamloops Transit office
at 1550 Ord Road in Kamloops.
