now supports Cowichan Valley. Not sure why they never got a Next Ride site, need to either use the Transit App or Google Maps. That site will show any 44/66/99s if you're wanting those though

BC Transit is looking for feedback on rerouting #53. Would turn left off Six Mile instead of right and terminate at VGH with some trips continuing Downtown. This is set to happen with the June 28 service change https://engage.bctransit.com/Victoria
I'm not sure why they just made a press release for that site. They've been using it for over a year now and some things from it are already implemented.

Making transit "free" will solve this.

Yes. Make buses busier, and working conditions for drivers even more stressful. That will solve things, for sure.

idk if it's because of limited training space or just an excuse they give everyone but a family friend recently applied and was told "we currently have the maximum amount of applicants we were looking for. Please apply again in 6 months!" (paraphrasing obviously). Like 2 days later is when they posted the most recent alert about driver shortages begging people to apply.

Oh yeah, I keep hearing similar stories just like that. So who knows.

How are the batteries for these buses manufactured?

Some of the more noisy vehicles I have to put up with outside my place are transit busses. Replace them all with electric. Even the CNG busses are noisy.

...Proterra was named the successful proponent on May 16th, 2022. ...
BC Transit needs to learn the correct way of using ordinal/cardinal numbers when writing dates.
...When you're writing out a date like January 1, 2016 (in the American style), the day is written as a cardinal number. You should never write January 1st, 2016...

Transit riders in the Capital Region will soon benefit from brand new cleaner, quieter electric buses.
They may be cleaner emissions wise, but I'm willing to bet the inside of the busses will soon be just as dirty as the ICE ones.

What a waste of money.
Upgrades worth more than $4.5 million aim to transform the BC Transit bus exchange at the University of Victoria, along with related facilities around Ring Road.
Construction on the project has begun near the UVic bookstore, where nine bus bays, six bus shelters and two layover bays will be refurbished. Another major focus is the improvement of the nearby pedestrian environment, including signage and wayfinding, and new bike storage shelters will be added.
UVic is the second most-frequent destination in the Victoria regional transit system, experiencing peak transit service of 55 buses per hour and 17,000 daily trips to and from, said Saanich Coun. Susan Brice, who chairs the Victoria Regional Transit Commission.
The upgrades will see old bus shelters replaced, new lighting and signage installed and landscaping done, paved walkways, replacement and repair of concrete bus pads and asphalt; improved pedestrian paths and realigned crosswalk locations.
