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.
