Bus Service in Penticton

As of Monday, Aug. 24, 2020, most BC Transit riders will need to be wearing a face mask to ride a bus.

Face coverings will be mandatory across buses provincewide, except for children under age five and those who cannot wear face masks due to health reasons.  For the full list of individuals who may be exempt from wearing a mask, visit BC Transit’s COVID-19 webpage.

Local bus service is provided by BC Transit. You can view route information and current schedules on the BC Transit website or download Schedules and Maps for handy reference.

Penticton Transit has a modern fleet of "low floor" transit buses that are fully accessible. Buses operate six days a week excluding statutory holidays. During summer, a lake-to-lake route is offered every Sunday and holiday from the last Sunday in June to Labour Day in September.

All accessible Penticton buses (except the Naramata bus) are equipped with bike racks that can carry up to two bicycles at a time.
