Last night for fireworks

It’s the finale of the Celebration of Light tonight — featuring Italy.

Translink spokesman Drew Snider says the transit situation on fireworks nights has been working well.

“We have our crowd management systems in place and that’s helped keep things flowing as smoothly as they can when you got thousands and thousands of people coming in to downtown Vancouver.”

He says SkyTrain will run on rush-hour service from noon onward, and after the show, trains will run later than usual — as long as there are people in the stations.

Snider adds no bikes will be allowed on skytrain from 10:30 until crowds thin out, about midnight.  

Vancouver Police, meanwhile, remind spectators they will be out on foot, bicycle and horseback looking for trouble, especially public drunkenness.
