VANCOUVER — Don’t roll the dice on safety this New Year’s Eve: Take C-TRAN instead. C-TRAN is offering free service across its entire system.
All C-TRAN routes will be free starting at 6 p.m. Sunday, December 31, and continuing through the end of service. Several routes will also be extended into the early hours of Monday, January 1. Routes 34, 48, 60, 65, 71, 80, The Vine on Fourth Plain and The Vine on Mill Plain will run until about 2 a.m. or later to help you get home safely.
New routes offering late-night service for the first time this year include Route 34, connecting Mill Plain Transit Center and Fisher’s Landing Transit Center; and Route 48, providing service to Ridgefield and ilani Casino. Full New Year’s Eve schedules are available at www.c-tran.com/newyears.
If you’re heading out to ring in 2024, be safe, plan ahead and let C-TRAN do the driving instead of getting behind the wheel. Transit is a safe, smart alternative to driving.
