Free transit on New Year’s Eve, plus info on New Year’s Day service and fares
Note: I’m still on holiday until Jan. 4!
Another reminder here about service and fares for New Year’s Eve and New Year’s Day — we offer free transit service after 5 p.m. on New Year’s Eve, by the way!
Transit services will basically run their standard schedules according to the day of the week, except where noted in the following list. I’ve also put in the applicable fares.
(For the very latest on transit service conditions or more detail on these items, call 604-953-3333, try the TransLink alerts page, and check the TransLink Twitter account. Our media release page will also have something up if there’s a major issue.)

I’ve just spotted what seems to be the 2010 Nova LFS HEV (9555) operating on 50 Waterfront, but it doesn’t have the battery tank like the previous ones and has a very long exhaust pipe any reason why?
zack: Here’s the answer from our fleet management department.
Wow! I didn’t know that since it had the same rear design as the hybrids.
In that case, are the diesel buses going to based out at the same garages as the Hybrids? (e.g. Vancouver and Burnaby)
On second thought, forget the previous comment. I’ve just found out these buses are currently allocated at the Vancouver depot.
Oh, excellent.
