Where is the bus? Our apologies for the lack of service for the past couple of weekends while we’ve been waiting for parts needed for Galiano’s two electric community buses. Repairs have now been completed on one bus, but no drivers are available this weekend, so regular weekend service will resume on July 17-19 according to the attached revised schedule. (Please note those runs for which advance requests are required.)

Galiano's electric community bus operates a regular scheduled transit service on Friday afternoons and on Saturday mornings, and meets the ferries arriving then. The bus also makes several stops at the outdoor Market at the Lions Field on Saturdays. In addition, the bus will also operate on Sunday afternoons if requested in advance by emailing [email protected] by 9 pm on Saturday. Regular fare is $5.
