Happy Saturday Denman! 🦀

This is a reminder that our 2026 schedule has changed a bit since last summer's schedule. Please make sure you are familiar with the new times before you go out to catch the bus. Another change to note is that we removed the Jemima bus stop this year. But we will still stop and pick you up anywhere along the route as long as it is safe to do so!

If you need a copy of the 2026 schedule, you can find it at the general store, as well as a printable version online at www.denmanislandbus.ca

If you have any Questions, Concerns, or Compliments, please send them to Sam at [email protected]

Just three days left of our Winter Service hours (April 23rd, 25th, 30th) before we switch to our new 7 day a week Summer Service on May 1st!

The new Summer Schedule has some changes that we encourage you to take a look at before your next trip. We have adjusted our first and last run to ensure connections with the Hornby and Denman ferries, and we made a little cheat sheet for those who take the #10 bus to Courtenay. 🦀🚌🦀⛴🦀🚌🦀

Physical schedules will be out soon, as well as available for download on our website https://denmanislandbus.ca/

Happy Nearly New Year, Denman!

We're pleased to announce that we'll be offering some shuttle service on December 31st, for the New Year's Eve FACEHEATER show at the Community Hall.

We'll do an initial pick-up run at 8pm, another at 10pm, and then runs home starting a little after midnight to around 1am, although of course we won't be leaving anyone stranded.

If you would like to be picked up, please message the DIBS Facebook or Sam (at 250-845-9477) with your address, preferred time (we can't guarantee exact times, but we'll do our best), and number of passengers.

For return trips, we'll be on hand outside the Hall, waiting to take people home.

We will go anywhere on island that the van can safely get to- including the North end, although if you have a monster driveway, we may need you to meet us part way.

We want everyone to have a fun and safe New Year, so please, if you're planning to drink, plan a safe ride home too.
