Bus Pass
An annual pass for public transit systems is available to assist eligible individuals to participate more fully in their communities. Applicants must apply each year.
Annual bus passes may be purchased by people:
who are receiving the federal Old Age Security (OAS), and either the Guaranteed Income Supplement (GIS) or Spouse's Allowance;
who are Immigrants to Canada, who would otherwise qualify for the federal Old Age Security (OAS), and either the Guaranteed Income Supplement (GIS) or Spouse's Allowance and are only ineligible for those benefits because they have not resided in Canada for 10 years; or
who are age 60 to 64 and receiving BC Employment and Assistance; or
who are receiving disability assistance under BC Employment and Assistance for Persons with Disabilities.
The cost of the bus pass is $45 per calendar year or portion thereof.
Applications for the next calendar year are mailed during the month of October of the current year to individuals who hold a valid pass at the time. Applicants should mail the application and their payment promptly or take the application to their bank and make the payment. The following year's passes are mailed in mid-December.
