Have an Out-of-Town Medical Appointment?

Northern Health Connections Bus provides patients with new transportation options to reduce one of the costs associated with visiting specialists, obtaining specialized diagnostic testing, and receiving other health care services not available in the patient's northern home community.

The buses are new and comfortable and have on-board movies, radio and individual reading lights. They are wheelchair accessible and will make your trip as comfortable as possible.

Passengers traveling on NH Connections will be charged a nominal fee. Fees are based on the number of zones travelled in each direction. Return fares range from $20 for short trips to $80 for the longest trips (the actual cost of travel is 80-90 per cent subsidized by Northern Health). There are no taxes or fees on any NH Connections fares. One of the longest routes is Prince Rupert to Vancouver.
