Summer transit services Squamish’s Sp’akw’us Feather Park

This summer, BC Transit will provide service to Squamish’s newest park on the oceanfront.

According to a news release, BC Transit will bring back Route 5 South Parks—which services local areas and downtown Squamish—from June 10 to Sept. 2, 2024.

“This year, Route 5 South Parks is being extended to provide service to Sp’akw’us Feather Park and the Oceanfront area of Squamish on some trips,” reads the news release.

A District of Squamish staff memo released on council’s May 7 agenda said this will result in 13 trips on weekdays and 12 trips on the weekends and holidays. The hope is to have year-round transit service in the future.

Additionally, Route 5 South Parks will be free to ride on Saturdays, Sundays, and statutory holidays. Riders can also now use the app Umo to pay to ride the bus throughout Squamish.
