Enjoy the Cranbrook Farmers’ Market with free transit rides every Saturday morning from June 23 to October 6. The free ride comes with a catch: each passenger must be carrying a reusable or recycled bag, be traveling to and from downtown Cranbrook and indicate to their transit driver that they are attending the Cranbrook Farmers’ Market.

The City of Cranbrook is funding the free rides for all 16 Saturday markets. The Cranbrook Farmers’ Market runs 9 a.m. to 1 p.m., but the free bus rides are from 8:30 a.m. to 1:30 p.m. That gives early birds and last minute shoppers’ equal access to transit time.

Trips to and from the Cranbrook Farmers’ Market via BC Transit are for non-transferable passes only.
This innovative partnership between BC Transit and the City of Cranbrook also achieves five specific goals identified in the community’s long term sustainability plan – ‘Connecting to our Future.’
