Getting around
Revelstoke has never been easier. Revelstoke transit gives you a choice
of two types of transit service to suit your needs.
Fixed Route Transit Service:
Fixed route transit service is provided
by a wheelchair-accessible minibus which is in service throughout the
day on regular routes from Monday through Saturday. The minibus carries
18 seated passengers and 2 wheelchairs. Residents wishing to use transit
can board the bus at a any bus stop. A Route map and schedules to times
and frequency for the Fixed Route Transit Service are included
online
here or in the
Rider's Guide. For more
details, please call Transit Information at 837-3888.
Door-to-Door Transit:
Door-to-door transit is Revelstoke's
transportation service for people with disabilities. Anyone who is
unable to use regular transit, due to a physical or mental disability,
is eligible for Door to Door Transit. This service is provided by
Johnnie's Taxi. Passengers must first register with the system. The
basic information that you provide is confidential and is kept on file
to make booking future trips easier. There is no fee for registration.
To register Contact Revelstoke Home Support Services at 837-2021.
