Three 18-seat buses are making their way from northern Alberta to form the backbone of West Vancouver Island’s first public transit system between Tofino and Ucluelet.
Alberni-Clayoquot Regional District Chair John Jack said the district is excited to introduce West Coast Transit to those living in the area. But after several delays — some of those delays pandemic-related — and receiving notice that provincial funding would not be available in 2023, the regional district decided to forge on ahead with the service.
Law said that local governments lobbied hard to get free trips for students and children under 12. “That’s going to be a tremendous boost to our region’s teen population.” Along with stops in Tofino and Ucluelet, the route services the Tla-o-qui-aht First Nation communities of Ty-Histanis and Esowista near Long Beach Airport.
