Thank you to everyone who sent in feedback on the proposed changes to bus stops along Granville Street. We appreciate your time and thoughtful input, and we’re here to share what’s changing.

As one of Vancouver’s busiest routes, the 10 Granville/Waterfront serves many riders but also experiences many delays. With stops spaced closer together than most routes, buses stop more often, making trips slower and less reliable.

Starting June 23, 2025, we’ll be adjusting stop locations between W16th Ave and SW Marine Drive to reduce delays and make transit more convenient for thousands of riders who take the 10 each day.

What’s changing?

We’ll be removing 17 stops and adding four new ones near intersections with crosswalks and traffic lights to support safety, accessibility, and convenience.

While most of the proposed changes will move ahead, we’ve made two adjustments based on what we heard during public engagement:

• The northbound stop at W 71st Ave will remain in service.

• The southbound stop at W 65th Ave will stay temporarily, to maintain access during nearby construction. Once construction is complete and the W 68th Ave stop returns to its original location near the intersection, the W 65th Ave stop will be removed.

With these changes, over 96 per cent of riders will continue to have access to their existing stop. Most others will have a stop within a block or two.

The City of Vancouver is currently exploring extending bus lane hours along the corridor to further improve travel times. They will announce more details on the finalized changes later this year. In the meantime, visit vancouver.ca/granville-transit to learn more about the proposed changes.

What we heard

Transit riders told us that reliability matters, but also that some stops are important for access, comfort and safety, especially those that offer seating, shelter, space for ramp use, or close access to key destinations.

While not all feedback could be actioned, we made changes where possible and carefully reviewed every comment.

When deciding which stops to keep, remove, or relocate, there are several things we consider. These include distance between stops, how easy they are to reach on foot, nearby crosswalks, key destinations, transfer points, community amenities, how many people use each stop, and how the change would support a better transit system for everyone.
