[2] Transit service began on February 22, 1890 by the National Electric Tramway and Light Company with four street cars on two routes.

[8] Victoria followed other BC Transit networks in late February 2020 with the introduction of compressed natural gas vehicles to their fleet.

[9] Until 2019, all BC Transit vehicles in Victoria were equipped with Trekker Breeze+ annunciators to call out streets for the blind.

Route frequency in the Victoria Regional Transit System varies greatly, some routes operate on a commuter-focused schedule, such as the 51 UVic / Langford and the 65 Sooke / Downtown via Westhills, with directional departures limited to morning or afternoon times.

Other local routes, such as the 43 Royal Roads via Belmont Park, operate infrequently due to low demand.

Some bus stops are considered inaccessible due to their design, with inadequate space to accommodate wheelchairs or operation of vehicle ramps/lifts.

A proposal was made in 2011 to build a light rail line from downtown Victoria, routing along Douglas Street to Uptown, beside the Trans Canada Highway and the Galloping Goose bike path to Six Mile, then along the Old Island Highway through Colwood to Langford.

While the E&N rail corridor was considered as a potential route under this proposal, it wasn't selected as the ideal candidate.

Full implementation of the line between downtown and Langford for initial opening was projected to cost $950 million.

[21] The E&N rail tracks from up island provide access into Vic West, across the inlet from downtown Victoria.
