Public Transport Information for Wells City Carnival


Planning to attend the Wells City Carnival? Here’s what you need to know about using public transport to get to and from the event, as well as navigating around the city during the carnival.


Getting to and From Wells City Carnival:


Public transport is a convenient way to travel to the carnival, with several bus routes serving the Wells area. However, please be aware that due to road closures and diversions during the event, some routes and schedules may be temporarily altered. We receive the latest updates from the bus companies, but schedules and routes may change, so it’s important to check back here regularly for the most current information.


Using Public Transport During the Carnival:


During the carnival, certain bus routes may be rerouted, and stops within the city may be temporarily inaccessible. Signage will be provided at key locations to guide you, and staff will be on hand to assist with any questions.


Stay Informed:


As public transport information is subject to change, we recommend checking this page frequently for the latest updates. This will help ensure your journey is as smooth as possible.
