Salt Spring Island Public Transit Service

Salt Spring Island Transit System commenced bus service on Salt Spring Island on January 7 2008. Routes include regular visits to Vesuvius, Fernwood, Fulford Harbour and Long Harbour with all routes leading to Ganges.

While there have been several attempts to establish a public bus service on Salt Spring Island in the past, all eventually failed. With the backing of the CRD and BC Transit, all signs are that this service will be permanent and ongoing. Salt Spring Island Transit System is operated by Ganges Faerie Minishuttle, with costs shared between the Capital Regional District and BC Transit. Passenger fares cover about 15%-20% of the actual operating costs.
