Masks will be mandatory for anyone stepping onto a city bus starting August 24.

The measure is being imposed province-wide by BC Transit in answer to the COVID-19 pandemic.

Accommodations will be permitted for children under the age of five and those who cannot wear a face covering for health reasons.

And the policy will be implemented as an educational step without enforcement.

"We will work hard to ensure customers are aware of our new policy over the coming weeks, and work together to make transit a comfortable environment for staff and customers," BC Transit said in a statement.
