GoByTransitWeek

Celebrate with us from Monday, September 29 – Sunday, October 5, 2025!

What is GoByTransitWeek?

It’s a week celebrating the 1 million transit riders in our region! We’ll be setting up celebration stations at different transit stops across Metro Vancouver, offering coffee, stickers and a friendly ear to hear your transit stories and any transit concerns you want to share.

For this inaugural event, we’re also inviting elected officials to hop on board for ride-alongs, to experience the ups and downs of our transit system firsthand, hear real rider stories, and work together on practical, solution-driven priorities.

We are honoured to share our participating electeds and political figures who joined us on ride-alongs, visited our celebration stations and shared the spirit of #GoByTransitWeekYVR!
