Bus Rapid Transit (BRT) Program

Help shape our region’s next rapid transit expansion projects.

Bus Rapid Transit (BRT) is a form of bus-based rapid transit designed to improve your commute by providing fast, frequent, and reliable service.

With dedicated bus lanes, transit signal priority at intersections, and weather-protected stations, BRT gets you where you need to go faster and more comfortably.

Get to know Metrotown-North Shore BRT

This proposed rapid transit service will connect the North Shore, Vancouver, and Burnaby, spanning 21 km with 16 to 17 BRT stations depending on the route option. During peak times, buses will arrive every 5 minutes, more than doubling the current frequency.

The system is expected to support up to 60,000 daily riders by 2035, offering seamless connections to the SeaBus, SkyTrain Expo Line, and Millennium Line, as well as the R5 Hastings St RapidBus.

Key destinations include Park Royal, Lonsdale Quay, Phibbs Exchange, Brentwood Town Centre, BCIT, and Metrotown. This service promises faster travel times and improved reliability over existing transit options.
