PrintRide the Bus for Free With Your Blues Fest Weekend Pass or Single Ticket
Bluesfest 2012 and Thunder Bay Transit have created a new, exciting joint initiative where Bluesfest ticket holders are able to use Transit for free. This initiative is not only to increase concert goers, but to ease traffic congestion, parking, lower the event’s carbon footprint, help eliminate drinking and driving, and introduce Transit to new passengers. No matter where you live in Transit’s service area, ticket holders are able to take Transit for the full valid date of their Bluesfest 2012 ticket.
For more information, please see the attachment below or pick up a brochure at the Thunder Bay Community Auditorium, Thunder Bay Transit Office, City Hall lobby, or at any Public Library location.
