There has been a change in the pricing of the trip from Kamloops to Victoria.
A full 47 seat bus will cost $60 per rider.The price per rider increases with every seat left open so lets fill this bus.
The price is inclusive with all fees covered.
Basically the same itinerary leaving Macarthur Island Kamloops by 330am.
Bus will be there a 3am for loading.
Picking up riders in Merritt at approx 420am and arriving at Tsawwassen terminal before 830am for 9am sailing reservation.
We have a 3pm reservation to come back to the mainland.
Anybody from the Kelowna area is welcome to climb on board in Merritt. The price will be the same from Merritt as from Kamloops.
There are 25-30 seats available so get your day off booked and get your seat.
Lets show up at the Legislature with a full bus.
Food will be whatever you pack on or eat at cafeteria on the ferry crossing. Dinner will be either on the crossing back or stop on the way home.
Please pm me with your name cel number and email address to reserve your seat(s).
Payment can be emt or cash and will start later next week when I get a better idea how many riders we have.RB

If a kelowna bus happens, I'll be on that, otherwise I'm in 100% to jump on in Merritt!

Another member sourced the best spot to park any buses. You would get dropped off at the legislature and have the bus driver take the bus to another location. At that location is a restaurant and a good walking area to keep the driver entertained for a few hours.

The best address to park the buses is 95 Dallas Rd. It is a Robbins parking lot, right near the Helijet. The rates are $1.50 per stall per hour or $5 per stall for 12 hours. The buses need to be parked into the stalls and typically it takes two stalls per bus. It's a no-no to park across the stalls.

Bumping this to top as I am getting requests for more bus seats and will defer them to Kamloops/Merritt and Ruttinbuck.

This all resulted from ruttinbucks hard work. I had nothing to do with the Kamloops bus which is going to be the best ride going! Thanks though.
