Spring has sprung and that means service changes are coming on April 18.

This year, TransLink is reintroducing or adding service to ten routes that reach popular outdoor destinations, including some of our beautiful beaches, around the region. Changes on seven routes take effect in April, with three more seasonal routes receiving service increases in May.

As we ride into spring and get set for summer, here are some updates that will help make the great outdoors more accessible in a sustainable way — aboard transit!

April 18

• More service on 150 Coquitlam Ctrl Station/White Pine Beach.
• Service increase to 23 Main St Station/Beach to English Bay.
• More trips added to 620 Tsawwassen Ferry/Bridgeport Station.
• Service increases to 211 Seymour Phibbs Exchange/Burrard Station, 212 Deep Cove/Phibbs Exchange, 226 Lynn Valley/Lynn Canyon Park, and 236 Grouse Mountain/Lonsdale Quay.

May 7

• Service on route 179 Buntzen Lake increased.

May 21

• Increased service to Routes 19 and 42 serving Stanley Park, Spanish Banks, and Jericho Beach.

Industrial Route Service

Based on feedback from customers, we are also adding service to some of the region’s industrial employment areas.

Starting April 18, trips are being added to:

• 319 serving destinations along the Scott Road corridor and bottom of Scott Road hill.
• 418 serving Richmond’s Kingswood area.
• 501 serving Langley’s Port Kells area.
• 531 serving Surrey’s Campbell Heights area.

Millennium Line Service Span Changes

Millennium Line hours of operation in Burnaby are changing slightly with the opening of a new Operations and Maintenance Centre.

This means the repositioning trips at the start and end of each service day to and from Production Way–University Station will no longer be required. NightBus service on the N9 route has been increased along this corridor to supplement the small group of customers who have been travelling on these repositioning trips, ensuring riders have adequate late night and early morning travel options.

Transit is a green, cost-effective way to access the natural beauty Metro Vancouver has to offer. Parking can also be hard to find near many of these destinations. We’re pleased to provide sustainable travel options for our customers throughout the entire year.
