From downtown Sidney, the usual way to reach Camosun College Interurban Campus is a BC Transit bus, often with one transfer, or a taxi if you want to skip the connections. The Victoria Regional Transit System trip planner tells you the exact route and time for the day you travel.
Using the BC Transit trip planner
BC Transit lists several routes that serve Sidney, including the 81 Saanichton, Sidney and Swartz Bay line, the 83 Sidney, Brentwood and Royal Oak line and the 88 Airport and Sidney line. It also runs the 21 Interurban and Downtown route that serves the Interurban area. Which of these connects you to the campus depends on your start and end points. Enter a Sidney stop and Camosun Interurban in the planner, choose your arrival time, and it lays out the trip and any transfer. Apps such as Umo and Transit App show live bus positions.
Timing for class or work
Check the weekday schedule if you have an early class, and check the return trip too. Weekend and holiday service differs from weekday service, and schedules change with each service update. Look up fares and any student or senior discounts on the BC Transit site, because the rules for passes are set there and not by the college.
Coming from the Swartz Bay ferry
If you are arriving from the mainland, the Tsawwassen to Swartz Bay sailing ends at Swartz Bay, which is named in the route 81 line above. Check the BC Ferries sailing schedule for the crossing time and the BC Transit planner for the bus connection from the terminal to the campus.
Taxi or rideshare
A taxi from Sidney is the easiest choice when you carry heavy gear or have a fixed start time. See the Victoria taxi page for local cab options, and use the taxi fare estimator for a rough fare before you book.
Driving is also possible. A navigation app gives the current route and drive time, and the college website lists parking information for visitors and students.
