BC Transit and the City of Dawson Creek are implementing a fare change effective Wednesday, July 1.

Although fare prices will increase, two new programs are being offered that will provide new benefits: the DayPASS-on-Board Program and Family Travel Program.

BCTransit explains:

“The DayPASS offers unlimited travel in the system on the purchase day. DayPASSes can be purchased exclusively on board the bus for $4.50 or exchanged for two bus tickets.

"As part of this change bus drivers will no longer issue transfers.

"As part of this fare change Dawson Creek will introduce the Family Travel Program. Family Travel offers adult customers (19+) with a valid pass (Monthly Pass, DayPASS, BC Bus PASS) the ability to bring up to four children (12 years and under) on board for free.

"This program helps children to become comfortable and confident using transit, increasing the likelihood of transit use in the future.”
