Please note: Route 1 buses do not stop at the Hospital during the festival, due to the detour. 

Route 1 buses will still appear on real time information screens at the hospital, however they will not drop off or pickup at the hospital.

We recommend transferring to a route 4, 23, or 29 bus at Courtenay Place if you need to be dropped off near the hospital.
