The bus features bold portraits, rainbow colours, playful icons, and celebrates the creativity, diversity, and resilience of 2SLGBTQIA+ communities.<\/p>\n<p>The \u201990s-inspired design reflects a transformative decade for Pride, both globally and in Vancouver. As 2SLGBTQIA+ visibility and representation grew, Pride events expanded into the vibrant celebrations recognized today, and Davie Village became firmly established as the heart of Vancouver\u2019s 2SLGBTQIA+ community and culture.<\/p>\n<p> \u201cParticipating in Vancouver\u2019s annual Pride Parade is a proud tradition for TransLink employees, and of course the iconic PrideBus,\u201d says TransLink CEO Kevin Quinn. \u201cWe encourage our customers to take transit for a safe, efficient, and reliable way to get to and from the festivities.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The PrideBus is expected to enter regular service on August 3, giving customers across the region an opportunity to see the limited-edition design.<\/p>\n<p>To support customers travelling to the parade, SkyTrain will provide additional service on the Expo and Millennium lines between 9 a.m. and 2 p.m.<\/p>\n<p>Bus reroutes on Sunday, August 2:<\/p>\n<p>2 MacDonald\/Burrard (11:30 a.m. to 5:30 p.m.)<\/p>\n<p>5 Robson\/Downtown (6 a.m. to 5:30 p.m.)<\/p>\n<p>6 Davie\/Downtown (6 a.m. to 5:30 p.m.)<\/p>\n<p>23 English Bay\/Main Street Station (11:30 a.m. to 5:30 p.m.)<\/p>\n<p>Customers are encouraged to use the\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.translink.ca\/rider-guide\/transit-app\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Transit App<\/a> for trip planning, and sign up for <a href=\"https:\/\/www.translink.ca\/alerts\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Transit Alerts<\/a> for the latest information on their bus routes.<\/p>\n<p>More information:<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/www.vancouverpride.ca\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Vancouver Pride Society<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Media downloads:<br \/><a rel=\"noopener noreferrer nofollow\" href=\"https:\/\/drive.google.com\/drive\/folders\/1vDVNUMO79sMcwL0z1qzDjt_-qAJPA-zR?usp=drive_link\" target=\"_blank\">PrideBus photos<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Media contact:<br \/>TransLink Media Relations<br \/>E: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.translink.ca\/news\/2026\/july\/mailto:media@translink.ca\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">media@translink.ca<\/a><\/p>\n<p>&#13;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"&#13; \u00a0New \u201990s-inspired wrap, extra SkyTrain service, and bus reroutes planned for August 2 VANCOUVER, BC \u2013 TransLink&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":610747,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[194298],"tags":[49,48,55],"class_list":["post-838869","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-vancouver","tag-ca","tag-canada","tag-vancouver"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/838869","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=838869"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/838869\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/610747"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=838869"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=838869"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=838869"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
