Fares
You may pay with cash (exact
coin fare only, drivers carry no change), ticket, or BC Bus
Pass and CNIB Pass, where available.
Transfers
If you need to use more than one bus to complete your trip,
and are using cash or tickets as fare payment, you will need
a transfer to board the connecting bus. Be sure to request a
transfer when you board the bus.
If you need to take more than two buses to complete your trip,
you may use the same transfer. Please show your transfer to
the driver, face-up with time and route punch showing.
Transfers are valid for one-way travel only (you cannot use
it on your return trip). Stopovers are not permitted, and transfers
must be used on the first connecting bus.
Boarding the Bus
Please have your fare or ticket ready when you board the bus.
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
oncoming traffic before you cross the street. To get off the
bus in rural areas with no designated bus stops, ask the driver
to find a safe place to stop.
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.
Please have your fare or ticket ready when you get on the bus.
If you are eligible for discount fare, please display your ID.
If you are using a Walkman or other portable music player,
please ensure you are not disturbing other passengers by keeping
the volume down.
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,
or clothing with reflective material.
If you lose something on the bus, call Lost and Found at 395-2834.
If you find something on the bus, give it to the driver, who
will deliver it to Lost and Found.
100 Mile House Transit will keep articles in Lost and Found
for up to 14 days, then send the articles to a charitable organisation.
Lost and Found is located at the transit office at 6119 Reita
Crescent in 100 Mile House.
