Langley Transit Priorities

Over the next few years, we are making major transit investments in Surrey and Langley as part of the Mayors’ 10-Year Vision. While we focus on extending SkyTrain on the Fraser Highway corridor, we’re increasing bus service as well as improving bus speed and reliability for routes that travel the Fraser Highway, including the 502 and 503.

The 503 route will be redesigned to become high-frequency, limited stop service between Surrey Central and Langley Centre; and the 502 will maintain frequent local service between Langley City and SkyTrain/Surrey City Centre. There will also be improved service to Aldergrove.

Bus-priority lanes will speed up buses and increase people-carrying capacity of roadways but there will also be benefits for other traffic. Traffic signal times will also be optimized, which will speed up general traffic. Travel times for cars will be improved.

Bus Priority Lanes

To improve speed and reliability we’re proposing some street changes to give buses priority at the points where they currently experience the most delays later this year. Bicycles and vehicles turning right would also be able to use the bus-priority lanes.

The proposed changes include introducing bus-priority lanes along key stretches:

• Fraser Highway westbound from 203 to 200 St
• 203 Avenue northbound from Fraser Highway to Logan Ave
• Logan Avenue Eastbound from 203 St to Glover Rd

At Fraser Highway and 203 Street, parking loss will be minimal with approximately six of 27 parking spots being removed. Off-street parking in the area will still be available to the public.

These street changes will benefit nearly all bus routes in Langley City and Langley Township, including 55 buses per hour in peak times.
