BC Transit is marking the 35th Anniversary of the popular GradPass program for graduating high school students.
Schools in nearly 80 communities, including 3 here in the Cariboo, take part in this program that allows Grade 12 students to ride the bus for free, any two days during the month of June.
BC Transit said students simply scratch off their 2 chosen travel days, which do not have to be consecutive, and when boarding the bus, they present the card along with a valid student ID to the driver.
Launched in 1998 GradPass now reaches over 25,000 students from 189 participating schools across the province.
The GradPass was handed out to graduating students at the following schools in the Cariboo:
Quesnel: Correlieu Senior Secondary
Mcnaughton Centre
Quesnel Online Learning
100 Mile House: Peter Skene Ogden Secondary
PSO Outback Storefront
Williams Lake: Lake City Secondary
Cariboo Adventist Academy
The cost of the GradPass program is covered by local governments and BC Transit.
