We’re increasing capacity on Route 25 UBC/Brentwood

Route 25 UBC/Brentwood is one of the busiest bus routes in the region. To address overcrowding, we’re running 60-foot articulated buses on most trips and eventually run all trips with articulated buses. This increases the route’s capacity by up to 30 per cent.

We’re reallocating service on 17 routes, many of which serve south of the Fraser River

We’re reallocating service on 17 bus routes to address overcrowding, including Routes 102 and 103 in New Westminster, Route 240 in North Vancouver and Vancouver, and Routes 321, 324, and 342 in Surrey and Langley.

This spring, we’re making adjustments to 67 bus routes to help spread out our service and to better match ridership patterns. Some routes will have more service at busier times of the day and some reductions during periods with less demand.

We’re actively monitoring ridership to ensure our service is provided where it’s needed most, that’s why service changes happen every January, April, June, and September.
