Hullo Ferry to Nanaimo and Evo Car Share
Those heading to Vancouver Island can use the Evo app to reserve an Evo Return up to 30 days ahead for a guaranteed Evo at the Nanaimo Hullo terminal when they arrive. While normally you can pick up/drop off an Evo anywhere in the service area, an Evo Return requires you to start and finish your trip in the same spot. This will ensure that Hullo passengers will have access to a car right at the terminal.
Two Evo Returns are already on site and bookable, with the possibility for Evo to add more based on popularity.
For Hullo passengers looking for an active way to get around Nanaimo, a second BCAA service – Evolve E-Bike Share – is also available through the Evo app and has just launched in Nanaimo with 16 parking zones around the city. Locate an available Evolve E-Bike, unlock it by scanning the bike’s QR code, wear a helmet (available in each Evolve E-Bike basket), and start riding. Riders can pay per minute ($0.35) or hour ($12.99) or opt for a monthly subscription ($9.99/mo) for a $0.10 per minute rate. *Prices in this post are reflective of those available at time of publishing.
