The Comox Valley Regional District (CVRD) will thank transit users in the Comox Valley.
The CVRD announced November 29, 2024, is Transit Rider Appreciation Day and the Transit Elf will surprise riders on transit exchanges to offer gifts to riders.
Manager of Transit and Facilities for the CVRD Michael Zbarsky said the elf will also talk to riders to find out how they use the transit system and what they like about it.
“With the cost of vehicle ownership constantly rising, transit is a great way for residents to get around while saving money.”
Zbarsky added there will be no set schedule for the elf but to keep an eye out for it on buses on November 29.
Riders can also be entered in the Transit Winter Giveaway online from November 29 to December 19 for a chance to win pre-loaded UMO cards valued at $500 and $50.
