The downtown Comox transit exchange, located on Port Augusta Street at Comox Avenue, is open for business starting today.

BC Transit says the exchange increases bus capacity, improves customer experience, and enhances the safety of the area.

In total, four locations in the CVRD – south Courtenay, downtown Courtenay, downtown Comox, and North Island College – as well as Oyster River in the Strathcona Regional District are receiving upgrades and new transit exchanges.

Each exchange will include concrete bus bays that can accommodate heavy-duty buses. Upgrades also include improvements to pedestrian and road infrastructure, new bike racks, and new larger bus shelters.

The five new transit exchanges were announced in February 2024 with $8.8 million in funding from the Government of Canada, Province of BC and the CVRD.
