Transportation Supplement/BC Bus Pass for people receiving disability assistance

If you get disability assistance from the Province of British Columbia, you are eligible for a transportation supplement. You can choose to get:

• An annual BC Bus Pass
• $52 a month 

How to request a BC Bus Pass

With your transportation supplement, you can choose to get $52 a month or a bus pass. If you would like to get a pass, you need to request one from the ministry by the 5th day of the month. It may take up to 6 weeks to receive a pass.

You can request a pass in one of these ways:

• On My Self Serve via the Service Request tab (quickest option)
• By telephone toll-free at 1-866-866-0800
  • If you have a Person ID (PID) and number (PIN) or Social Insurance Number (SIN), enter it and choose:
    • Option 3
    • Option 1
  • If you do not have a PIN, choose:
    • Option 2
    • Option 1

If your pass was lost or stolen, it can be replaced. Submit an online request for service or contact us. Fees may apply. Learn more about how to make a payment.

How to cancel your pass

You can opt out of the BC Bus Pass Program and receive $52 a month. Let the ministry know by the 5th day of the month. You will then receive your $52 on the following month’s assistance payment.

To opt out of the program, contact us. If you cancel your pass, you can change your mind later and ask for a new one.
