Victoria youth can apply now for free bus passes

​Youth between six and 18 living within the City of Victoria can apply now for free bus passes to use in September. The program aims to encourage young citizens to use public transit with the hope they will continue to seek sustainable transportation as adult commuters.

The application process has changed since it initially launched after the city did not get the participation levels it expected. The municipality was left with thousands of unused bus passes after it purchased them in bulk before waiting to see actual demand.
