Route 25

We’ve balanced the bus stop spacing on Route 25 Brentwood Station/UBC.

When bus stops are too close together, customers spend more time waiting. Route 25 has 150 bus stops. More than half of these stops are less than 300 metres apart (about 2 blocks).


Benefits and Impacts

Balanced bus stop spacing on the 25 means: 

  • Faster and more reliable commutes with round trip savings of 4 minutes per customer
  • Safer and smoother rides
  • More space on the bus and sidewalk


We carefully considered the physical constraints, accessibility, convenience, and transit performance, among other criteria, in selecting each bus stop. To minimize impacts on customers, we proposed changes to approximately one in eight of the least used bus stops along Route 25. This means:

  • 97 per cent of customers will continue to use their current bus stops and enjoy a faster, more reliable trip.
  • Only 3 per cent may experience a longer walk or roll which will be offset by a shorter trip on the bus.
  • The average spacing between bus stops will be 372 metres, which is about a 4 minute walk or 5 minute roll.
