Welcome to ride.bcbuses, the online reservation system of the TRANSIT MUSEUM SOCIETY.

Please note that we operate vintage vehicles on our tours. We do our best to keep them in good condition, but sometimes mechanical failures can arise. We appreciate your understanding!

IMPORTANT! BRILL TROLLEYCOACH TRIPS -- These are free, but you must reserve your seat(s). Because of the popularity of these trips, you may only reserve a maximum of four seats per request. If you need more seats, please start a new reservation session! All passengers including children will receive ADULT tickets.

Check out our available tours and departure dates/times. Note that the 24-hour clock is used. To convert, deduct 12 from hour after 1pm. Examples: 1000=10am, 1300=1pm, 1830=6.30pm, and 1900=7pm.

Concession fares may be offered to Seniors (65+) and accompanied children (3-15). Children 2 and under travel free. Members of the Transit Museum Society can enter their OTP code to receive a discount.

After completing your reservation, for some tours, you may purchase your ticket online. We accept Visa and Mastercard.
For all tours, you can pay onboard. For Adult fares (Member or Non-Member) only, we accept Google, Samsung & Apple Pay, (Visa, Mastercard and Interac) contactless payments with your QR-enabled phone. For Concession fares, please pay with cash. Please tender exact amount when boarding.

Special note regarding Christmas Lights Tours: Because they run in December, there is a chance we may have to cancel due to poor weather. When good weather is forecast for the departure date, we will contact reservation holders informing them that they may pay online using a credit card. We follow this procedure because our payment processor charges us a fee to refund payments.

We regret we cannot hold reservations without a valid email address. All tours are subject to cancellation at sole discretion of TMS, for any reason, including if minimum ticket sales not achieved.
