Ditch the car on New Year's Eve and hop on the bus, SkyTrain and SeaBus - for free.
TransLink is once again offering transit rides at no charge after 5 p.m. on Dec. 31 in an effort to get party revellers home safely during the celebrations.
As well, TransLink's hours of operation will be extended:
SkyTrain will run an extra hour later with the last departure from Waterfront Station at 2:05 a.m. (to Canada Line to YVR-Airport); 2:15 a.m. (to Richmond-Brighouse); and 2:16 a.m. (on the Expo/Millennium Lines)
The last SeaBus leaves Lonsdale Quay at 2 a.m. and Waterfront at 2:20 a.m.
Buses will run on the Saturday schedule but late-night service will be added on certain routes. For more information, visit www.translink.ca/en/schedules-and-maps/holiday-service.aspx.
On Sunday, Jan. 1, transit will run on the Sunday/holiday schedule and services will return to the usual weekday rotation on Monday, Jan. 2 (except for West Coast Express, which will not run that day).
All transit services will be back to normal on Tuesday, Jan. 3.
