Contestants in BBC’s Race Across the World tasked with travelling to Haida Gwaii without flying or renting a vehicle hit a wall when it comes to bus options on the Island
Contestants on a British reality show discovered just how difficult it is to get around Vancouver Island without a car.
A couple of teams head to the Island, hoping to get to Port Hardy, where they can catch a ferry to Prince Rupert, and then travel on to Haida Gwaii. Corbett-Labatt said while it is possible to reach Port Hardy by bus, it’s difficult to piece a trip together from tip to tip on the Island, and would take multiple days, because it involves different companies and schedules that don’t line up well.And it’s not cheap. A seat in a Waivin Flags Taxi shuttle between Campbell River and Port Hardy costs $100 for a roughly three-hour ride.
Greyhound’s departure from the province in 2018 created gaps in intercity bus services on the Island and the mainland. Bus services took a further hit during the pandemic when people weren’t travelling, although some options are starting to return, said Grover, who lives in Port Alice without a vehicle.Even as transportation options decrease, Grover said he’s seeing more interest than ever in getting around without a car.
