TransLink is once again operating a special express shuttle bus between SkyTrain and Hastings Park for the PNE Fair, and you can save on admission just by taking transit.

From August 17 to September 2, the No. 16 PNE Special bus route will run between the Expo Line’s 29th Avenue Station, the Millennium Line’s Renfrew Station, and outside the PNE Fair entrance next to the Pacific Coliseum.

The express bus will run every 15 minutes in each direction every day that the PNE Fair is open, with the first bus departing 29th Avenue Station at 9:34 am and the last bus leaving the Pacific Coliseum at 12:07 am.
