infrastructure · July 2021 · Denman Island bus route

The Denman Island Bus Service has adopted roadside ride hailing as a community feature, allowing passengers to flag down the bus at safe locations along the route. Safety concerns exist due to narrow roads and limited pull-over spots, with possible adoption of school bus procedures to mitigate risks.

• “I am really glad that the service has decided to take up roadside ride hailing because this is a community feature... Roadside hailing has some risks because there are lots of places where it isn’t safe to pull over... The solution is probably to follow school bus procedure.” — The Islands Grapevine – July 8th, 2021 (July 8th, 2021)
