The bus will always stop at Victoria Bus Depot, Nanaimo Departure Bay, Ucluelet Transit Stop and Tofino Co-op Parking Lot, and these stops will accept last-minute walk-up passengers. Walk-up tickets from the driver are available by credit card or Debit-VISA/Debit-MasterCard purchase only, and are first-come first-serve if there are any available seats. No Cash or normal debit card walkups will be accepted. (Exception: Victoria Bus Depot can accept cash or debit purchases for any transactions including last minute walk-up purchases). Walk-up tickets do not qualify for any discounted fares such as Senior or BC Resident, Adult or Child tickets only. We highly recommend pre-reserving your tickets on our website prior to departure in order to guarantee a seat is available and that you get the cheapest price.
