Fall Service Changes 2018: the first SWATP improvements arrive
You asked, we listened! Our Fall Service Changes adds 100 more trips every day and 6,000 more spaces for our customers across Metro Vancouver — made possible through new 10-Year Vision investments.
As part of this, we’re thrilled to be implementing the first improvements from the Southwest Area Transport Plan, which was finalized in July. The plan established a blueprint for the transit and transportation needs in Richmond, South Delta, the Tsawwassen First Nation and important connections to North Delta.
Starting on Sept. 3, we’re splitting the 401 and 410, both into two routes to improve speed and reliability. We’re also extending service to new areas: Port Royal and the Blundell Road Industrial Area!
401 Richmond-Brighouse Station/One Road and 408 Richmond-Brighouse/Ironwood/Riverport
The 401 will now serve the route between Steveston and Richmond–Brighouse Station via One Road, and the new 408 will serve the route between Richmond–Brighouse Station, Ironwood and Riverport.
406 Richmond-Brighouse Station/Steveston and 410 Richmond-Brighouse Station/22nd Street Station
The 410 will now operate between 22nd Street Station and Richmond–Brighouse Station, while the new 406 serves the route between Steveston and Richmond–Brighouse Station.
104 Annacis Island/22nd Street Station
We’re extending the 104 to Port Royal on weekday evenings and weekends to serve the growing residential community.
418 (formerly C98) Richmond-Brighouse Station/Kingswood
The C98 is now the 418 and will travel all the way to Blundell Road and Zylmans Way to provide service to the Blundell Road industrial area.
These improvements are just the beginning! The SWATP will help TransLink pinpoint investments over the next decade to make it easier for people and goods to get around these communities, whether you walk, cycle, drive or take transit.
