Cowichan Valley Transit adding Sunday service and adjusting routes for 2026

BC Transit and the Cowichan Valley Regional District are rolling out several updates to the Cowichan Valley transit system early in the new year, including expanded service and fare changes.

The most notable addition comes to the Cowichan–Victoria commuter route, which will now operate on Sundays for the first time starting January 4th, 2026. The expansion is expected to give riders more flexibility for weekend travel between the Valley and the capital region.

BC Transit is also adjusting schedules on a number of local routes. The changes are designed to improve reliability, strengthen connections, and better align service levels with rider demand.

New fares will take effect the same day.
Updated schedules and full details on the fare changes will be posted on the BC Transit website ahead of the launch.

Officials say the improvements are part of a broader effort to support growing ridership and provide more convenient regional transportation options throughout the Cowichan Valley.
