TransLink is again offering free transit for all services this New Year’s Eve from 5 p.m. until 5 a.m. on Jan. 1.
During these hours, fare gates at SkyTrain stations will remain open and customers won’t be required to tap Compass Cards or other payment methods. Customers who begin trips before 5 p.m. are advised to tap out as normal to ensure they’re charged the correct fare.
On New Year’s Eve, buses will operate on a Saturday schedule with over 30 additional buses throughout the system and extra service on select routes.
SkyTrain service will also operate on a Saturday schedule with last trains running one hour later than regularly scheduled. The last train from Waterfront to YVR–Airport station will leave at 2:05 a.m., and the last train from Waterfront to Richmond–Brighouse station will leave at 2:15 a.m.
The SeaBus will run on a Saturday schedule with service every 15 minutes until the last sailing at 1:22 a.m. NightBus will continue operating after SkyTrain and SeaBus service ends. As usual on a Saturday, the West Coast Express will not be operating.
Additional SkyTrain staff, Transit Police, and Transit Security officers will be on the system to direct and assist customers. The TransLink customer service centre and lost property office will be closed.
