OXNARD — Gold Coast Transit District (GCTD) is excited to announce the third annual appearance of its popular “Elf on the GO” holiday bus and held a commemorative ribbon cutting today along with its Board of Directors and staff.
This year’s “Elf on the GO” is merry and bright with its colorful red design. With a highly visible full bus wrap, onlookers will be thrilled to see elves happily making toys, wrapping presents and hanging lights. Some elves are even playfully peeking through the windows inviting folks to hop on board where they will find festive decorations and holiday music.
GCTD’s 40-foot holiday bus will appear throughout GCTD’s service area from December 5th through January 4th. Surprise visits from “elves” bringing cheer, bearing candy canes and posing for “sELFies” will occur randomly throughout the season. Passengers are encouraged to take pictures, tag #ElfontheGO and post to Facebook, Twitter or Instagram for a chance to win goodies and prizes.
“We are thrilled to once again do our part to spread holiday cheer throughout the communities we serve”, said GCTD General Manager, Steven P. Brown. “It’s something we look forward to each year as it brings joy to the passengers who board and smiles to passersby who see it”.
Sightings of the “Elf on the GO” bus can be tracked by searching #ElfontheGO on Facebook, Twitter and Instagram or by visiting www.GoldCoastTransit.org.
