It’s that time of the year again—Spring Service Changes is here! Most changes are effective Monday, April 23.

As part of the Mayors’ Council’s 10-Year Vision, we’re delivering increased service at busy times on the 229 Lonsdale Quay/Lynn Valley, 337 Fraser Heights/Guildford/Surrey Central Station and 403 Three Road/Bridgeport Station to reduce wait times for our customers.

The 129 route is renaming into the 129 Patterson Station/Holdom Station and 133 Holdom Station/Edmonds Station to make the routing easier understand and more intuitive for our customers.

Bus routes that service post-secondary institutions, including the 125, 145 and 480, will be adjusted to better reflect ridership during summer semester.

C-ya later! We’re phasing out the “C” on more community shuttle routes this round of service changes, so your route number may be changing. Among them is the C18 and C20, which are now the 68 UBC Exchange/Lower Mall and 70 UBC Exchange/Westbrook Mall.

The letter “C” used to indicate that a route was only served with community shuttle buses. Today, we can better serve our customers by operating different sizes of buses interchangeably, depending on demand.

These are just a few highlights from the Spring Service Changes! For a complete list of the improvements we’re bringing to your neighbourhood, visit translink.ca/servicechanges and stay tuned for Bus Route Buzz.

Four times a year (spring, summer, fall, and winter), TransLink updates its bus service schedules to reflect seasonal changes in customer demand and to optimize service.
