#TLHIGHFIVE0: 50,000 high fives for our 50,000 followers (Win a FareCard Contest)

Thanks for 50,000 follows!
High five! Thanks for 50,000 follows!

It feels like it was just yesterday when we were celebrating 40,000 followers on Twitter, but now we have 50,000 of you following us and counting!

The @TransLink Twitter account got its start in February 2010 during the Winter Olympics, providing riders with breaking news and key service updates.

But it didn’t start answering questions from tweeps until November 2010 when a one-month pilot project was launched. It was extended multiple times before becoming a permanent service in February 2011!

Today, Customer Information staff are on Twitter from 6:30 a.m. to 11:30 p.m., seven days a week, to answer all your service-related questions and provide service updates, tips, and information to 50,000+ of you!

Contest time!

To celly, we’re going to give away three FareCards! To enter, simply follow @TransLink and retweet one of the following tweets from our Twitter team:

RT @TransLink: High Five x 50k!!! Ohhh our hands hurt, BUT every one of you is worth it! You’re AWESOME! #TLHIGHFIVE0 http://ow.ly/B3AzP

RT @TransLink: Nearly 4 years ago, we became a permanent service as a result of YOUR support. THANK YOU! #TLHIGHFIVE0 http://ow.ly/B3AzP

RT @TransLink: 2, 4, 6, 8, who do we appreciate? YOU – ALL OF YOU! Thank you for your ongoing support. #TLHIGHFIVE0 http://ow.ly/B3AzP

RT @TransLink: From us to all 50, 000+ of you – THANK YOU! Your tweets and kind words really mean a lot! #TLHIGHFIVE0 http://ow.ly/B3AzP

RT @TransLink: Many ways of spelling our ^ initials, but only one way to show appreciation. T-H-A-N-K-S #TLHIGHFIVE0 http://ow.ly/B3AzP

Contest closes at 11:59 p.m. on Thursday, September 11 and we’ll randomly select a winner on Friday, September 12. The FareCard will be for one, two, or three zones, depending on where the winner travels. You’ll want to read the terms and conditions for all the details on the contest.

One person cannot win more than once, so if we draw your name, you will be excluded from the other FareCard draws.
