Victoria Regional Transit System
Victoria Regional Transit System provides public transportation in the Greater Victoria region of British Columbia, Canada. Its operations are governed by the Victoria Regional Transit Commission in association with BC Transit. There were more than 25 million riders in 2010.〔http://bctransit.com/regions/vic/news/newsreleases/pdf/vic-nr1520.pdf〕
==History==
Transit service began in 1890 by the National Electric Tramway and Light Company with four street cars. On May 26, 1896 a packed streetcar crashed through the Point Ellice Bridge and 55 people were killed. The Consolidated Electric Railway Company was forced into receivership by the disaster and emerged reorganized as the British Columbia Electric Railway on April 15, 1897.
The use of buses started in 1923 for outlying routes. Although trolley buses were tried in 1945, the transit system was completely converted to motor buses in 1948. In 1961 BC Electric became part of BC Hydro, a Crown corporation, before the transit system was moved to the crown agency that would become BC Transit. In 2000 Victoria became the first city in North America to use double decker buses in regular public transit service〔(A Brief History of Transit in Victoria and the Lower Mainland )〕 as well as the first city to use hybrid double-decker buses.〔(Transit Commission Minutes March 18/23 2009 )〕
As of August 24, 2015, BC Transit Begins Roll Out of Automated Bus Location 'Call Outs'. http://bctransit.com/victoria/news/article?nid=1403643807681
