TransLink Boosts Bus Service in Metro Vancouver

0:00Translinks dropping some good news for Metro Vancouver bus riders, starting Monday, April 20th, their boosting service on 42 routes. That means more frequent trips on overcrowded lines like the 99B line, R4, 335, 240 and 106. Expect smoother commutes with added runs during peak times and weekends. Meanwhile, popular connectors are getting love too, like the 19 from Metrotown to Stanley Park with extra trips all week and the three. 88 extending to 9 p.m. on weeknights. Seasonal routes to spots like Grouse Mountain, Spanish Banks and Bunsen Lake are firing back up through September, perfect for spring vibes. Riders are hyped, saying it'll cut way times and overcrowding on busy paths to UBC, downtown and beaches. But to keep balance, some school routes like those to SFU and Capillano University will dial back over summer when classes chill. This ties into Translinks 10-year plan kicked off last year, backed by a $312 million provincial bailout that funds ops through 2027.
