Courtenay and Comox are neighbouring towns, and the BC Transit Route 1 links them in roughly 24 minutes. Driving is a little quicker. A taxi is the choice when you have bags or the timing is tight.
Route 1 between the two town centres
Route 1 is the Comox Mall and Anfield Centre route. It stops at Comox Mall, North Island College, downtown Courtenay, Driftwood Mall and Anfield Centre. Wikipedia lists it as running every 20 minutes at peak times, with hourly service otherwise. Treat that as a guide only, since the timetable changes by season and by day.
Route 11 is a different service. It runs from downtown to North Island College, Comox Airport and the Little River ferry terminal, with no Sunday service. It will not suit a plain Courtenay to Comox trip unless you are heading toward the airport.

By car through the valley
Most drivers use the main roads between the two towns, and a navigation app will pick the fastest one for the hour. Parking in Comox is easiest in the lots and streets near the town centre and the marina. Read the signs for time limits, and allow extra time on event days and summer weekends.
Taxi and rideshare
Cabs and rideshare cars work well for a quick hop, a late return or luggage. A rough fare is available from the taxi fare estimator, and operators are listed on the Comox taxi page.
On two wheels
The towns are close enough to cycle on a dry day. Check the BC Transit page for current rules on bringing a bike aboard before you rely on it. Wet or windy days tend to make the bus a better pick.
