2025 saw another successful year for the Richmond Discovery Shuttle!

The shuttle free service, which operates on weekends and holidays throughout the summer, has two routes that connect many of Richmond’s hotels and transit hubs with McArthurGlen Designer Outlet Vancouver Airport, and Steveston Village. The hop-on-hop-off service can be ridden by visitors and locals, providing an easy and environmentally friendly way to explore some of Richmond’s top attractions.

Ridership increased for the 4th consecutive year, with additional promotion on social media and new adverts at SkyTrain stations. The shuttle saw its highest ridership during the holiday weekends and during the Richmond Maritime Festival and the Freshco Richmond Dragonboat Festival.

The Tourism Richmond team also undertook 2 ‘road shows’ to educate and excite hotel teams about the Discovery Shuttle. The roadshow took the branded shuttle to 8 hotels across the city so hotel staff could hop aboard, talk to the Tourism Richmond team and win prizes!
