You mentioned both #16 and #210 going to the PNE. Where’s the West Vancouver buses coming in to be in the role for the PNE? No express service?
Hi Kelly, if you’re coming from West Vancouver, you can connect with the 95 B-Line in downtown Vancouver. The 95 B-Line provides frequent, express service down the Hastings Street corridor. You can visit http://www.translink.ca/tripplanner to plan your trip. :)
