VANCOUVER (NEWS1130) – Great news for Fraser Street and 99 B-Line transit users – starting tomorrow, TransLink will make your commute a little easier.
TransLink will replace the average 40 foot buses that run from Marine Drive into Downtown Vancouver along Fraser, with the 60 foot articulated trolley buses. This means more passengers can travel at one time.
Drew Snider with TransLink explains the changes are important because Fraser is a route that’s known for heavy congestion and crowding – as more and more people are choosing public transit. “And so we’ve been working through the past couple of years, working through ways of making that route more efficient because we can’t throw more buses on, we don’t have more buses, but we can make it more efficient.”
Another improvement to bus service will be on the 99 B-Line. Two more stops are being added; one at Broadway and Fraser and another at Broadway and Arbutus.
New routing for certain trips will also go in effect. The weather has also been affecting some routes, for that info click here.
