Important RC FLEX 🚘 / BCGo App Update 📱

As we prepare for service changes taking effect on July 1, riders may notice a few temporary changes within the BCGo app.

At this time, trips can only be booked for travel between now and June 30. While our system normally allows riders to schedule trips up to two weeks in advance, booking requests for dates beyond June 30 have been temporarily paused to ensure a smooth transition to our new service area and fare structure.

Beginning July 1, riders will once again be able to schedule trips up to two weeks in advance.

We appreciate your patience and understanding as we work through this transition.
