HandyDART

Disability Services, Services for Seniors, and Transportation

Provided by BC Transit

HandyDART is a specialized accessible transit service for people with cognitive and/or physical disabilities who can’t use regular buses or trains due to mobility or health limitations.
HandyDART is an accessible, door-to-door transit service for people with permanent or temporary disabilities that prevents them from using fixed-route transit without assistance. HandyDART drivers pick passengers up at an agreed-upon location and drop them off at the closest accessible point near their destination, often right at the door. Assistance with boarding and exiting the bus is also provided as needed.

HandyDART is part of the Accessible Transit Services offered through both TransLink and BC Transit.
Registration is free, but passengers will need to register for HandyDART before booking a trip.
