Leave your car behind and ride to EDC—for free

Don’t drive, hitch a ride on Insomniac’s new bus service.

Of all the sights and sounds each Electric Daisy Carnival weekend, the most stunning annual display takes place not inside Las Vegas Motor Speedway but on the roads to get there. Traffic has been EDC’s one unrelenting headache since the festival relocated to Las Vegas in 2011, as anyone who has inched along I-15 or the northern tip of Las Vegas Boulevard the past six summers will surely attest. In an effort to reduce snarls, EDC promoter Insomniac has introduced a new, free park and ride service, which promises to send more than 100 buses in continuous loops from Craig Ranch Regional Park (on Craig Road just west of the 15) to the Speedway (nine miles to the north) and back each night from 6 p.m. until the fest ends the following morning. As for the traffic in and out of that lot … it can’t be any worse, right?
