| Transit service is FREE after 5pm on NY Eve
Just a heads up, transit is free of charge after 5pm on New Years Eve.
Posted from TransLink's Holiday Service page: Quote:
Friday, December 31 (New Year's Eve)
Transit Service is free of charge as of 5 p.m.
* Buses will be running usual weekday schedules with additional buses put into service throughout the system to accommodate the anticipated larger passenger loads.
* Final NightBus departures from downtown remain the same.
* SkyTrain will run usual weekday schedules but will extend service by approximately one hour on all lines. The last trains will leave Waterfront Station for King George at 2:16 a.m., King George for Waterfront at 1:38 a.m., Waterfront for YVR-Airport at 2:05 a.m. and Brighouse at 2:15 a.m.
* SeaBus will operate usual weekday schedules but will extend service by one hour with the last sailing from Lonsdale Quay at 2:06 a.m. and Waterfront at 2:16 a.m.
* West Coast Express will run the same afternoon schedule as December 24 (see above).
| Have a safe and happy new year  |

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?

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.

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?

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