The BC and federal governments are investing funds to provide new buses in the province.
Prime Minister Justin Trudeau and Premier John Horgan announced more than $79-Million in joint funding to purchase 118 new buses for use in Victoria, and communities throughout B.C.
10 will be zero emission long-range electric buses, and 26 will run on compressed natural gas.
The Government of Canada and the Government of British Columbia are each contributing about $31 million towards the purchase, with municipalities investing more than $16 million.
The new buses will replace others at the end of their life cycle, or will be provided to increase capacity in communities where ridership is growing.
The new buses will be more efficient, have improved accessibility and safety features, and will support BC Transit's new NextRide technology and closed-circuit television security cameras.
