The eight week campaign will be featured on T.V., bus exteriors and interior ads, social media and print.

B.C. residents will also have the opportunity enter BC Transit’s contest to win one of eight rider prize packs including, a BC Transit face mask, custom running shoes and a one-year transit pass for the transit system in their community.

“Although the wearing of face coverings is not currently mandatory, it can help promote a more comfortable transit experience for all as select sectors open up and people gradually return to engaging in some of the activities they did prior to the start of the pandemic.”—Release from BC Transit
