Direct PNE service and two-for-one Fridays return for annual event

VANCOUVER, BC – TransLink is boosting transit service for the PNE Fair with the reintroduction of a special bus, which last year saw over 35,000 boardings. From August 17 to September 2, the 16 PNE Special will provide direct access to and from the PNE fairgrounds:

• Service between 29th Avenue Station (Expo Line), Renfrew Station (Millennium Line), and the PNE.
• Special bus will run every 15 minutes in each direction during Fair days.
• First bus will leave 29th Avenue Station at 9:34 a.m. each morning.
• Last bus will leave the Pacific Coliseum at 12:07 a.m. each night.

To encourage more people to take transit to the event, TransLink and the PNE Fair are offering discounted admission on Fridays. On August 23 and 30, customers can show their Compass Card, or proof of fare, at the entrance gates for two-for-one admission to the Fair. This offer is available for the first 5,000 customers.

This year, TransLink exhibits will be at two different PNE locations and include:

• An Outreach bus with access to discounts and special offers at local businesses.
• A tour inside one of TransLink’s popular double-decker buses.
• A vintage 1957 bus preserved by the Transit Museum Society.
• The Car-Free Pledge Wall with chances to win daily PNE concert tickets.

Taking transit is a sustainable, convenient, and affordable way to travel to one of the region’s biggest summer events. Plan your route with Trip Planner, sign up for Transit Alerts, follow TransLink on X @TransLink, or call Customer Service at 604.953.3333.
