The Jingle Bell Express will be available weekdays from 5:30 p.m. until 8:30 p.m. and weekends from 10:30 a.m. until 4:30 p.m. On Boxing Day, the Jingle Bell Express will operate as a free service between 9:30 a.m. and 4:30 p.m. This holiday bus route is decorated and plays Christmas music to get you in the holiday spirit.    

Masks are required on all transit buses.  Use the Transit App or Google Maps Transit to plan a trip, or consult the route schedule on Transit’s website. 

Jingle Bell Express riders who complete a short survey will be in for a chance to win one of five $100 gift cards sponsored by the participating malls.
