We implement service changes every January, April, June, and September to ensure service is provided where it’s needed most based on seasonal patterns and recent trends.
Starting June 23, TransLink is bringing back seasonal service on 13 routes to improve access and convenience to popular outdoor destinations.
TransLink is also reintroducing the 900 Bike Bus for summer 2025 to better connect cyclists with ferry sailings to Swartz Bay, Duke Point, and the Southern Gulf Islands.
-
The Bike Bus will run on Fridays, weekends, and holidays from Friday, June 27 to Monday, September 1 (Labour Day), 2025 from 8 a.m. to 11 p.m.
We’re adding earlier morning northbound trips throughout the week on both the R1 and R6 RapidBus routes in Surrey and Delta, improving service on two of Metro Vancouver’s busiest bus routes.
TransLink is also making minor changes to bus bay assignments at White Rock Centre bus exchange to improve efficiency and reliability for customers.
We will continue monitoring ridership levels across the region to ensure service is provided where it is needed most as more and more people choose transit.
