BC transit offers free rides to polls

BC Transit is offering voters free transportation on provincial election day.

Communications manager Jonathon Dyck said BC Transit is partnering with local governments throughout the province on this promotion.

The polling stations are open from 8 am to 8 pm on October 24.
