In-Depth Information
The best way to get around British Columbia is via your own vehicle—be it a car, RV, mo-
torbike, or bicycle. It's easy to get around by bus, but you can't get off the beaten track and,
let's face it, that's exactly where most of British Columbia is. It's also easy to get around
by air—all the larger airports are served by scheduled intraprovincial flights, and charter
services fly out of many of the smaller ones.
