Remembrance Day is Sunday, November 11th. Except for some bus routes, this year, transit service will run like any other Sunday of the year.

Veterans ride free on Nov. 11

This applies to Ordinary and Life Members of the Royal Canadian Legion, the Army, Navy and Air Force Veterans and the Korean Veterans Association. Veterans just have to show their membership card to receive free transportation. Free service does not apply to associate members of these organizations.

Free transit service also extends to members of the current armed services including: police (including auxiliaries), firefighters, the Coast Guard, BC Ambulance Paramedics and Department of Fisheries and Oceans Officers. They may ride free in uniform or by presenting their badge.

That means that all transit will run on Sunday/holiday service; however, the West Coast Express and train buses won’t be running.

A moment of silence at 11am

All TransLink services including: Coast Mountain buses, West Vancouver Blue Bus, SkyTrain, SeaBus, and Community Shuttles will observe a period of silence at the stop they reach closest to at 11am on Remembrance Day.

Riding with a group is cheaper

On Remembrance Day, like on any Sunday or holiday, you can use your FareCard to take one more adult and up to four children with you. The offer applies to Adult FareCards, West Coast Express 28-day Passes or Annual Employer Transit Passes. Please note that this does not apply to Concession Passes.
