Telling Tales is committed to making the Festival accessible to all members of the community. We are thrilled to be able to offer complimentary shuttle bus services from downtown Hamilton directly to the front steps of RBG. Buses are operating first come first serve. We will do our best to accommodate guests. Please email logistics@tellingtales.org if you would like more information.
Routes: see detailed route information below
Please note that school buses are not accessible. Limited space in each bus will be reserved for collapsible Strollers and Mobility Aids. Please ensure that Strollers and Mobility Aids can be stored between available bench seating.

Some important information for all our guests joining us on the buses:
- Have your festival e-ticket(s) and/or printed copy ready, for an easy check in at RBG
- NO food or beverage is to be consumed during the bus ride out of respect to the space and for the safety of all of our guests
- Bus seating is on a first come first serve basis with limited seating. If a bus is full we will try our best to accommodate patrons on another bus.
- Please arrive a minimum of 10 minutes prior to the estimated departure time (listed above and on the website); these schedules are not perfect and dependent on traffic. We do not want to miss anyone so give yourself plenty of time to spare!
- Please respect and listen to your driver. We want every member of the community to have a safe and positive Festival experience, start to finish.
- Food is available for purchase at RBG.
