TransLink: Bring five people on transit for free on Sundays and holidays with your monthly bus pass
First published on December 14, 2007
2014 update: The free travel for family members of monthly pass holders on Sundays and holidays was discontinued by TransLink on January 1, 2014
This is a little known fact because it’s not printed on the back of bus passes in Vancouver…
As quoted from the TransLink website:
On Sundays and Statutory Holidays you can use your FareCard and take five others with you for free. A total of six: Two adults (14 and older) and up to four children (13 and under) ride on a single Adult FareCard, West Coast Express 28-Day Pass, or Annual Employer Transit Pass (does not apply to Concession Passes).
Note: A child can be substituted for one adult passenger.
If you don’t have children, this means that you are pretty much taking one friend or family member around for free. Note that on Sundays and holidays, all public transit trips are “one zone” trips, so you can bring people around everywhere no matter which monthly pass you have!

Your blog still comes up number 1 when I search "translink family pass" on Google. Way to go! Translink should have fixed this on their side when they updated their site. The page you inked to moved to http://www.translink.ca/en/Fares-and-Passes/Monthly-Pass.aspx
Reply from Peter: Thanks for the update! I’ll update the link.

It is still number one for translink and free Sundays but free Sundays and holidays were eliminated January 1, 2014.
Reply from Peter: Thanks for the heads up! I’ve updated the post to mention the change.
