"Safe Ride to the Concert" transit shuttles free ride to Aerosmith and ZZ Top

Avoid the hassle of traffic and parking and stay safe. Take a free shuttle service to the Aerosmith and ZZ Top concert on Sunday, August 9th. The service is sponsored by SGI and provided by Regina Transit.

Shuttles will start at 3 p.m. from Victoria Square, Northgate, Southland and Normanview Crossing malls and run every 15 minutes to Mosaic Stadium. Pick-up will start directly after the concert at the same spot as the drop-off location.

"SGI is proud to partner with Regina City Transit to provide free shuttles to both the Aerosmith and AC/DC concerts," Sherry Wolf, Vice President of the SGI Auto Fund said. "While we want everyone to have an outstanding time, we also want to ensure they have a safe ride home."

Regular transit service will also be free after 3 p.m. to those presenting a concert ticket to the bus operator.

Paratransit service is also free. Riders must phone to book an appointment. Pick-up and drop-off will be at the same location in front of the stadium on the southwest corner.
