Bus Route Buzz – Vancouver

Hey Vancouver! This September, why not save some fuel and take the bus to school?! In addition to regular seasonal bus changes, we’re adding more service to reduce crowding on the 25 Brentwood Station/UBC, 49 Metrotown Station/UBC and 84 VCC-Clark Station/UBC.

We’re adding service on these east-west bus routes to get you across the city during the busiest times of the day. It’s all part of the biggest bus service expansion in nearly a decade!

Starting Monday, September 4, customers will benefit from the following improvements:

These changes are a part of our regular, seasonal service changes that occur four times each year in April, June, September and December to bring more service to more people with the resources available.
