Transportation

Both getting from the Prince George airport to the UNBC and using public transportation in the city are very straightforward. If you need to take the city bus while in Prince George, day passes are available on the bus for $5 in cash (please note that bus drivers cannot give change); more information about bus fares is on their website. If you need a cab, the recommended taxi company is Prince George Taxi (250-564-4444). Please note that this cab company accepts cash and credit payments, but not debit.
