BC Transit offering free bus rides on Election Day in PG

Casting a ballot on Election Day won’t cost Prince George transit riders a dime.

That’s because BC Transit is offering free bus rides all day on its routes.

Spokesperson Shellene McConnell spoke with MyPGNow.com.

“It’s something we’ve always reached out to our local government partners about and giving them the opportunity to do this if they choose so we have offered for federal, provincial and civic elections in the past.”

Voting is open from 7 am to 7 pm on Monday.

The following communities will be offering some form of free transit during Monday’s vote:
