B.C.’s three major transportation agencies are offering complimentary travel to veterans on Remembrance Day, to thank retired and active military personnel for their service.
BC Ferries will observe two minutes of silence at 11 a.m. on the ships and terminals to honour the sacrifices made by veterans in the line of duty.
All Canadian flags on BC Ferries’ vessels and terminals will fly at half-mast on Remembrance Day. All buses will display “Lest We Forget” on the destination screen as will the screens of the ferries and terminals.
BC Ferries complimentary passenger fares will be provided for customers presenting official Canadian military identification or travelling in uniform.
The company notes that these free fares are not applicable on the Inside Passage, Haida Gwaii and Central Coast Connector routes.
In addition, British Columbia’s seniors can also travel free on Remembrance Day with the presentation of a BC Services Card, BC Driver’s License, BC Identification Card or Birth Certificate.
Buses and handyDART services in the Victoria Regional Transit System will be free for all riders in uniform on Monday.
TransLink is offering free transit on all services, including HandyDART, to veterans, active members of the Canadian Armed Forces, police and fire personnel, Canadian Coast Guard members, officers from the DFO, and BC Ambulance Service personnel.
The three transportation agencies say they hope the complimentary service will present veterans with convenient travel options to engage in Remembrance Day events.
