Celebrate the start of 2022 by leaving the car at home. Guelph Transit will get you on your way for free this New Year’s Eve, starting at 7 p.m.

Service will flip to five zoned routes running every 30 minutes starting at 1 a.m. connecting riders to downtown Guelph or the University Centre. The last bus leaves Guelph Central Station at 2:15 a.m. to accommodate late-night celebrations. The five zones include a route that runs between downtown Guelph and the University Centre.
