Rules
Check out the I Love Transit 2018 contest terms and conditions, but here’s the lowdown:
- The Contest will open on September 25, 2018 and all entries must be received by 11:59 p.m. on October 5, 2018. Late entries will not be considered.
- One entry per channel, per person so make it count! You can enter up to three times in total.
- The Monthly Pass will be for one, two, or three zones, depending on where the winner travels.
- We’ll announce the winners from a random draw on the blog, Twitter and Instagram!
- To be fair to everyone, one person cannot win all three draws. So, if we draw your name for one of the channels, you will be excluded from the other two Monthly Pass draws.
Photos may be used in the print edition of The Buzzer, the Buzzer blog, tweeted by @TransLink, posted on the TransLink Facebook page and @TransLinkBC Instagram account.

Good luck!
I love transit because there’s no rush hour driving stress
I love transit because it is plentiful in Metro Vancouver, I don’t have to drive or deal with a car and it’s endless issues (gas, traffic, parking, maintenance, etc.) and I can appreciate contests like this for products and services I use.
I LOVE transit because I can still get to my job, that I love, working with some amazing kids in Vancouver even though I had to move to Coquitlam because rent in Vancouver is bonkers! I also LOVE transit because I feel I am doing my part (as small as it is) for the environment, car free!
I love transit because it lets me get everywhere I need to go without the stress and hassle of dealing with other drivers!
I like the transit because I can go and look at everything in the city love how it looks in the day and night and all the big buildings.

I love transit because I can relax on my way to work and back home and go to different places without a car.
I love transit because I can spend some quality “me” time alone with my book. No work, no dog, no kids. And I save a ton of money on gas and parking. The environment is hopefully a little happier too.

I love transit because it is very interesting. It also gets you to places faster. Plus, it connects Vancouver with its surrounding neighbourhoods.

I love transit because it is a convenient and cheap way to get from point A to B. The monthly pass would be really helpful to me because I want to have more opportunities to visit my grandma. I want to spend time with her but circumstances make it difficult. She’s in Vancouver and I’m in Richmond. With transit and the potential monthly pass, I can visit her as often as I like. Transit allows me to do this at an affordable cost versus a car.
