Our annual “report cards” on ridership and transit services are out, revealing the top 10 bus routes that you — our customers — rode the most in 2022.

Before you get started, there are two foundational definitions on what sub-regions and boardings that you need to know.

To ensure local context and needs are understood and reflected in transportation planning, TransLink divides Metro Vancouver into sub-regions such as Vancouver/UBC, Southwest, Burnaby/New Westminster and so forth. A boarding represents each time a customer boards a bus, including transfers.
