The state of public transportation in BC (between towns and within them) is a source of frustration for many, particularly the one third of us who don’t drive. The demise of Greyhound created challenges for many communities. The province’s recent decision to cut funding for previously agreed-upon 2027 transit upgrades, which will affect Kamloops’ expansion plans, has dashed hopes for improved service.

 

In response, advocacy groups around BC (including Transition Kamloops have formed an alliance to advocate for a British Columbia where everyone can get where they need to go safely, reliably, affordably, and accessibly.

The new Public Transit Alliance of BC will focus on ensuring that public transportation works for all of us—in the North, the Interior, on the Islands, in our towns and cities, and in rural and remote communities where public transit is still inaccessible, unavailable, or effectively non-existent. The alliance will also support railways wherever they are feasible.

You are invited to be part of this determined new chapter for transportation equity in BC. Find out how your voice, skills, experience, and networks can help and/or benefit from membership. Visit the website, or learn more at the online launch event on April 28, 2026.
