Whatcom Transportation Authority (WTA) is excited to announce that all bus trips within Whatcom County will be free of charge from August 10 through August 19, 2023, as part of their Free Fare Days promotion.
WTA’s Free Fare Days will once again coincide with the Northwest Washington Fair, offering the perfect opportunity for fairgoers to hop on the bus to Lynden and enjoy the festivities without the added cost of gas and parking.
WTA’s Route 26 bus provides regular service to the Lynden fairgrounds, conveniently dropping off riders at the Front Street entrance of the fair. This route operates between 6:30 a.m. and 8:00 p.m. on weekdays, from 8:30 a.m. to 6:30 p.m. on Saturdays, and 8:05 a.m. to 6:05 p.m. on Sundays.
In addition to free rides on fixed route buses, WTA is extending the offer to paratransit and Lynden Hop riders, making the promotion all-inclusive for a seamless and cost-free transportation experience.
