New Westminster – With Halloween taking place on a Saturday this year, Metro Vancouver Transit Police remind you to take a few precautions to ensure that you enjoy this busy night safely.
Take extra care when choosing Halloween costumes. Costume props, such as replica handguns, hatchets, knives, swords, etc. should not be openly carried or displayed in public. Costume props could easily be mistaken for the real thing which may put your safety at risk if the police are called. If in doubt, keep it tucked away until you arrive at your destination or better yet, leave it at home.
Consumption of liquor in public is illegal. This includes all buses, trains, and SeaBus. If you are carrying liquor on transit, ensure it remains closed until you arrive at your private destination. The fine for consuming liquor in public is $230.00.
Tips for staying safe on transit:
Remember if you see something, say something.
