HandyDart
Information
|
| The
Custom Transit System in British Columbia,
called
HandyDART, offers specialized
transportation services for seniors
and people with disabilities. It is
available to anyone, regardless of
age or income, who is unable to use
the regular bus service without assistance.

Qualifing
for a HandyCard
If you’re a resident with special
needs, you may be eligible for a HandyCard.
To be eligible, you must have a permanent
physical or cognitive disability that
prevents you from using the public
transit system without assistance.
Also, you must reside within the TransLink
service region.
Your
HandyCard entitles you to Concession
fares on the Bus, SkyTrain, SeaBus,
West Vancouver Transit and West
Coast Express. An attendant who
accompanies and assists a HandyCard
holder is eligible to travel free.
HandyCard
is not valid on HandyDART nor are
Concession fares available. When
you begin your transit trip on HandyDART,
you will pay the regular HandyDART
fare. If you wish to transfer to
conventional transit, ask your HandyDART
driver to give you a three-zone
FareSaver ticket.
Applying
for HandyCard
To obtain your HandyCard, please
complete and sign the application
form and have your family doctor
(or senior official of a recognized
social service or health agency)
complete the verification portion.
Then
mail it to us (at the address below),
along with two recent "passport-style"
photographs. The photos should be
clear, face-front, head-and- shoulders
photos, taken in photo booths at
malls or photographic studios. Photos
taken with your own camera are acceptable,
provided the picture can be sized
to 3.2 cm x 3.2 cm (1- 1/4"
x 1-1/4)." In any case, the
cost of obtaining these photographs
is your responsibility.
Your
non-transferable HandyCard with
one photo attached will be mailed
to you within 4 to 6 weeks after
your application is received. Apply
