Just a heads up, transit is free of charge after 5pm on New Years Eve.

jan 2 someone's gonna post raging about getting a fine for having no transit ticket

:troll:

Im going to my buddys downtown, good to know!

New Years Eve and they only extend the Skytrain by ONE FREAKIN' HOUR?!?! ... most if not all clubs will be closing at 2am, some even 3am (Ebisu will be open until 4am) so they expect everyone to leave early from NYE celebrations? :2finger:

and no you don't get a refund if you get into habit and throw change into the farebox.

Cause you know someone out there is going to do it.

what sucks is if your in DT, Operation Red Nose does not offer services within Vancouver and Burnaby, sucks balls cuz its free. and theres this other service that will not operate on NYE..so tough luck argh

good thing I got free secured parking and a hotel to crash at lol

wow... 5pm... thats crap.. i remember when i took the bus when i was younger it was free at 12am on new years day right til 12midnight

Whats the point of "free transit"? So people can afford to spend money on one extra drink? People that normally can't afford transit fares can now afford to go drink? How is this really helping aside from staying open later?

Translink keeps saying they're losing money, why don't they scrap the free transit thing and extend transit hours to like 4am? Its not free but i bet tons of people will still be using transit at that time, given all them road blocks and shit

Not too bad free Victoria transit starts at 6pm.

I highly doubt there is enough volume on NYE to justify bus service between 2 and 4am.

you guys know taxi's run on NY's too? i know there is long wait for taxi's but so will the lineup be for public transit. If they have money to shell out for booze and food, they shouldnt complain about paying for taxi, it was only $3x.xx from yaletown to richmond.

ebisu open till 4am? what time does liquor stop?

Pfft, like anyone will be leaving Solid NYE before 3

no complaints about taxi; i usually take a taxi anyway. It's more - wtf is the point of extending transit by 1 hour? or making it free? go look at when transit stops on new years in a real city.

^in all honesty, i wouldnt want to take public transit when 80% of the ppl are drunk, especially if you are with your gf/ wife,

i can imagine the fights that would occur b/c of the wrong look, accidental bump, etc etc.

If I read it correctly, the free fare starts Dec 31, 2010 1700 all the way until Jan 1, 2011 2359.

Good luck to everyone in downtown trying to flag a cab tonight after the NYE parties. The temp will be at -4 so bundle up.

I love skytrain, skytrain be my bestfriend.

hmm... now that i re-read it.... my mistake

lol failed me cuz i failed you?
