Westbound in the morning, the 43 is a good option, but in the afternoon, congestion in Kerrisdale can make it unreliable.

Shane:
I don’t see why not… isn’t the 43 an express?
If someone else has any alternate takes on this though, I’d love to hear it.

S.Evans:

Someone else asked a similar question over in another thread. Service hasn’t been increased on the #49 at the moment, but it is being closely monitored to see if changes are necessary. Here’s the full answer on that from CMBC planning:

We only have a finite amount of additional resources/buses. We will be monitoring the service closely though and will make adjustments if necessary. Keep in mind that the integration plan is not just for the September service changes. The integration plan will be ongoing over the next year as we adapt/improve our service to maximize the benefits of what the Canada Line provides.

Cambie and 49th is the location of the Langara 49th Canada Line station. This means that you need to catch a 49 to get to the station or if you are getting off at the station the 49 is still the transfer bus to catch. Does this mean transit will be increasing bus service on the 49th avenue corridor?

Is it efficient for UBC students transfer to the “43 UBC” at Collingwood station?

For all those people wanting SEMI Express SERVICE along Granville St. in Vancouver up to 41st Ave in order to get downtown; my advice is to use #480.

Frequency is greatly improved and using that bus will get you all the way down to 41st.

Private school students can transfer to a #10 local to King Ed for the schools there or commuters heading downtown can catch #43 over to Oakridge for C-Line.
