How to get there by transit

Car Free Day New Westminster takes place on Front Street Mews. Skip the traffic and the pain of finding parking by taking transit. The Expo Line’s New Westminster and Columbia stations are just a short walk or roll from Front Street. From there, follow the music to the waterfront!

Pro tip: transit is just a one-zone fare after 6:30 p.m. on weekdays and all day on weekends/holidays. You can tap to pay an adult cash fare using a contactless credit or debit card. Bringing the whole crew? Remember, kids under 12 ride transit for free every day, so make it a family outing! Soak up the Fraser River views from the SkyTrain and make your journey there part of the experience.

Make it a passport stop

Bring your Next Stop: Summer Transit Passport and collect your stamp at the event — or at one of the other local passport stops — for a chance to enter to win a year of free transit. Learn more about the passport and other summer adventures at translink.ca/tours.
