Taking place on Friday, October 26 from 8 to 9:30 pm, the Halloween SkyTrain party puts your ghoulish celebration on rails for a trip through the city.
The party starts at Waterfront Station, where everyone participating (including organizers) will board at the same time. The DJ will get set up (oh, yes, this party has a DJ) and then play music as long as the batteries last. The full route of the party ride will be made available ahead of the event, in case you want to join in at a stop down the line.
Here are the guidelines for the event:
1. Play "Fare" and board with your Compass Card U-pass or buy a ticket.
2. Have fun, but be chill. No racing between trains at stops (this is a safety issue for TransLink), so please respect that. Also, please DO NOT hold the doors.
3. Smoking ANYTHING on the train is not allowed (no vape, cigs, pot, brisket).
4. Be a good host. The train will stop at every station along the route, picking up people along the way. These are your Halloween party guests! Invite them in to join in the fun.
5. Share the gratitude. If you see one of the Canada Line staff crew, or TransLink officer, please give ‘em a high five. These fine folks do a lot to make sure that this event – and transit in general – runs smoothly.
6. Help maintain the vibe. Look out for one another and keep a good thing going. If you see some who needs a hand with something, help ‘em out. And if you see someone horsing around in a way that runs contrary to the above – please ask ‘em to chill out, for everyone’s sake.
7. Clear out any recycling and trash. Pack out what you pack in, and considering picking up any other litter you see.
8. Spread the word. Share the love. On social media use the hashtag #HalloweenSkyTrain18
