Bus Rapid Transit is coming to Metro Vancouver!

TransLink is developing the region’s first Bus Rapid Transit (BRT) program to bring the benefits of fast, frequent, and reliable rapid transit to more parts of the region.

BRT is a form of bus-based rapid transit that provides high-frequency service in dedicated lanes with transit signal priority. This service uses stations instead of bus stops to make waiting more comfortable and to make boarding more efficient.

There are three key features of a BRT system:

  1. Frequent service means you spend less time waiting.
  2. Dedicated lanes and transit signal priority make your trip fast and reliable.
  3. Stations make your trip comfortable, safe, and efficient.

We’re in the early stages of an ambitious plan to build up to nine BRT corridors across the region, as outlined in the Access for Everyone plan. King George Boulevard, Langley – Haney Place, and Metrotown – North Shore have been selected as the first three corridors to advance to further planning, engagement, and implementation.

At this stage, we want to hear from you about your priorities for a BRT system in Metro Vancouver. Take the 2-mintute survey today and have your say. For more information, please visit the BRT program page.
