Gabriola Shuttle Bus - Pilot Program

March 19 - June 19

We're happy to announce that over the last month, we have been working with People for a Healthy Community to facilitate a shuttle bus. The pilot will help provide more accessible travel for residents while reducing vehicle congestion at our terminals and vessels.

As an essential service, we are committed to reducing our GHG emissions while maintaining a safe, reliable and efficient ferry system for our passengers. Which is why we are excited to see more community projects that encourage travellers to go by bus and high-occupancy vehicles.

For Gabriola Island, People for a Healthy Community has taken the lead to initiate the second community shuttle program in the Southern Gulf Islands, and we welcome other communities to reach out with similar projects to see how we can work together to connect people to the places they need to go.

The shuttle will travel between Descanso Bay and Nanaimo Harbour on Tuesdays and Wednesdays depending on the needs of the ridership. You may notice the shuttle staged in the medical loading area at the terminals. If you have any questions on the program, please visit People for a Healthy Community website at https://www.phcgabriola.org/ for more details on eligibility and scheduling
