Transit service throughout the year
Buses in the Whistler Transit system run from 5:20 a.m. to 3 a.m. daily and additional service is offered in winter.
Buses are free on summer weekends and statutory holidays from Canada Day to Labour Day, as well as Victoria Day, Thanksgiving Day, and National Day for Truth and Reconciliation. This program is made possible by revenue from pay parking in Day Lots 1 to 5. The Resort Municipality of Whistler’s New Year’s Eve Special service includes free service all day within Whistler.
The Village Shuttles are free year-round.
A free Park and Spook Shuttle runs on Halloween from Marketplace Parking lot to the trick-or-treating in Tapley’s Neighbourhood.
To meet demand, we run additional buses in the winter. The bus schedule changes on the below dates. Read about holiday service.
In winter, Route 7: the Staff Housing bus is free from 6 p.m. to 8 a.m. Whistler Blackcomb funds this free evening and morning transit to Glacier Staff Housing at Base 2 on Blackcomb Mountain for their staff, outside the hours when staff can take Excalibur Gondola.

About local transit
Local transit in Whistler is provided through a partnership between the Resort Municipality of Whistler and BC Transit delivered by the contracted operating company Whistler Transit Ltd.
The Park Shuttles are contracted by the Resort Municipality of Whistler through a separate contract with Luxury Transport.
Many transit programs, including free transit at summer weekends and on statutory holidays, and free bike parking receive funding through the Community Transportation Initiative Fund. This Fund is generated by user pay parking in Day Lots 1 to 5. Day Lots 1 to 5 are managed by the Day Lot Operating Committee, a partnership between the RMOW and Whistler Blackcomb.
The free Village Shuttles (routes 4 and 5) and the free Park Shuttle routes are funded by the provincial Resort Municipality Initiative (RMI) and Municipal and Regional District Tax (MRDT).
