In addition to Vancouver and Victoria, there are another 48 transit systems in British Columbia, ranging from small minibus-based services in places such as 100 Mile House to full-service transit agencies in Kelowna and Nanaimo.  All are affiliated with the BC Government and painted in the provincial fleet livery.  The larger systems use Dennis Darts and Tridents, Alexander Dennis Enviro 500, New Flyer D40LF, and NovaBus LFS buses.
