BC Transit

BC Transit (BCT) is a provincial Crown corporation in British Columbia, Canada, that plans and manages public transit networks across the province except for Metro Vancouver which is under the jurisdiction of TransLink. It manages over 50 local and regional transit networks across BC, all using buses (city bus or intercity bus/motorcoach). Operations are mostly contracted out to private transit operators or local governments except those of the Victoria Regional Transit System, which is directly operated by BC Transit.
