Transit service from downtown to gondola begins next week

BC Transit and the District of Squamish have announced the return of free summer weekend transit service on all local routes.

The seasonal transit route 5 to South Squamish Parks, including the gondola, has also been reinstated.

Both services start on Monday, June 14.

Route 5 South Parks will include connections from Downtown Squamish to the Adventure Centre, Darrell Bay, Sea to Sky Gondola, Stawamus Chief, and Valley Drive.

Route 5 started as a pilot project in June 2018, but was discontinued last year due to COVID-19.

The gondola previously contributed financially to the South Parks service, and pass holders will be able to ride the route for free.

The service will be available seven days a week.

Free summer weekend service on all routes will run between June 14 and September 6 on Saturdays, Sundays and statutory holidays.
