Parking & Transportation
Municipal Bus System
"Catch the Wave" is the motto of Whistler's municipal bus system that keeps growing every year. WAVE services more than two million riders a year, which is a huge number for a town of this size. Clean and bright blue, Whistler's buses are an easy and convenient way to get around.
Whistler Wave
The resort transit system operates a free village shuttle that provides transportation from Village hotels and condos to the ski lifts every 10-12 minutes throughout the day and evening. For all other areas outside the village, but within Whistler Resort, there is a regular municipal transit service. The fare is $2.00 per trip; tickets and multi-day WaveCards are available at a discounted rate and are sold throughout the Village including the Whistler Visitor Info Centre. WAVE also offers a commuter bus from Squamish ($5.00 per trip) and Pemberton ($3.00 per trip) to Whistler’s Gondola Transit Exchange, making four return trips daily.
