It's Fringe!
ERRS is excited to be running our special Fringe streetcar service this year for . Starting today until the end of Fringe, ERRS will be offering service between Jasper Plaza and Fringe HQ in Old Strathcona. Service starts at 11am every day, (9am Saturdays) and continues until 9pm, with cars running every 40 minutes. Please see the full schedule on edmontonstreetcars.ca for more details. Regular fares apply.
Please note: our service will be stopping at Fringe and will not be running to Whyte Ave or our regular Strathcona stop. This means our wheelchair ramp is also inaccessible. Fringe can be very busy, seats/space is first-come, first-serve. please do not bring wagons, strollers, or other large items on the car.
Did you know that Streetcar service on the High Level Bridge started with the Fringe? For Fringe 1995, ERRS brought Osaka 247 (pic 2) up to the bridge to ferry people to a play staged in the tunnel. This service was the start of HLB service, which first crossed the bridge as it does today in 1997. Osaka 247 is being repaired right now and won't be running this Fringe, but our other 2 cars will be out to carry on this tradition!
