Each night, the market attracts thousands of people and with limited parking, transit is one of the best ways to get there. Here’s what you need to know about taking transit, whether it be the bus or SkyTrain’s Canada Line to the Richmond Night Market! It’s easy as 1-2-3.
It’s a five-minute walk from Bridgeport Station
Coming from Vancouver? Take either the train bound for YVR Airport or Richmond–Brighouse. If you’re travelling within Richmond, look for the train headed towards Waterfront.
Aside from the SkyTrain’s Canada Line, there are several buses that stop at Bridgeport Station. It includes the 351 White Rock Centre/Bridgeport Station, 403 Bridgeport Station/Three Road, 407 Gilbert/Bridgeport Station, and 601 South Delta/Bridgeport Station. Schedules vary route by route and day, so plan your trip at translink.ca/tripplanner to know when you will arrive at the night market by and when to leave by.
If you’re coming from South Surrey, you can park your car at the South Surrey Park & Ride for $2 all day. Then, you can hop on the 351 Bridgeport Station to head to the night market.
