Getting Around Whistler - The Easy Way
The Whistler bus service does a great job of serving the area
Getting around Whistler is as easy as ABC. There's nothing to it...
Whistler buses
There are 2 free Village shuttles that take you around the village. The #5
bus takes you around the main village. The #6 bus takes you around upper village
only. Wherever you are in Whistler, there will be a bus stop only a hop, skip
and a jump away.
If you need to go outside the
village, a small fee of $1.50 is required. If you are going to Staff Housing its
50cents. And yes, you will need the correct
change. If you are using the bus frequently you can save with a
WaveCard.
You can
purchase WaveCards
from all around the village.
The buses run from 5.30am to 3am everyday of the year. Approximately every
15mins, the bus arrives on all routes.
The bus runs;
- North to Alpine/Emerald until 2.15am
- South to Creekside/Function Junction until 3am
- East to Staff Housing until 2.30am

actually usually rare not to walk in Whistler, as everything is so close to one
another.
