RAPID TRANSIT STUDY? TransLink and the Province of British Columbia Launched in 2010, the study reviewed sponsored the study, in partnership with the alternatives for rapid transit service in Surrey City of Surrey, City of Langley, and Metro and surrounding communities. Vancouver. WHAT WERE THE STUDY’S GOALS? The study aimed to identify rapid transit alternatives that meet three goals: SHAPE TRAVEL DEMAND SHAPE LAND USE RAISE TRANSIT RIDERSHIP, LOWER EMISSIONS Meet, shift and help shape travel Shape future land use in keeping demand through improved with the Regional Growth Help achieve mode share and transit service quality. Strategy and municipal plans. emissions targets. HOW MANY TECHNOLOGIES AND ROUTE OPTIONS DID WE CONSIDER? 3 technologies BUS RAPID TRANSIT LIGHT RAIL TRANSIT RAIL RAPID TRANSIT (SKYTRAIN) examined 1000+ 13 4 route and technology alternatives alternative identied combinations initially considered evaluated in detail for three corridors HOW DID WE EVALUATE THE OPTIONS? Each alternative was evaluated on seven accounts for benefits and impacts: ECONOMIC ENVIRONMENT FINANCIAL SOCIAL & TRANSPORTATION DEVELOPMENT COMMUNITY detailed measures considered + (e.g. GHG emissions, 90 construction eects) DELIVERABILITY URBAN DEVELOPMENT PUBLIC CONSULTATION BY THE NUMBERS 970 230 20+ questionnaires workshop public events & completed attendees meetings held WHAT ALTERNATIVES DID WE IDENTIFY?

  • Skytrain Upgrade Project
    BACKGROUNDER SKYTRAIN UPGRADE PROJECT Upgrades to the existing SkyTrain network are necessary to meet current and future demand, and are a pre-condition for new rapid transit projects WHAT IS THE SKYTRAIN UPGRADE PROJECT? The 2014 Vision for Metro Vancouver Transit and Transportation included analysis and recommendations on the type of investments needed to keep the existing SkyTrain system modern and up to the task of meeting growing demand over the next 30 years. The upgrade project includes: 100 new Mark III SkyTrain cars (28 already funded in Phase One Plan; 72 cars remaining); New storage and maintenance facilities for the new cars Control and power system upgrades to ensure new cars can be operated Station upgrades to improve passenger amenities and access WHY IS THIS UPGRADE PROJECT NEEDED NOW? Current and future ridership will strain the existing system The Expo Line officially launched in 1986 and the Millennium Line opened in 2002. Since then the population and level of employment in the region has grown, and the current capacity of the system is insufficient to meet the demands during period periods. This is resulting in passengers being passed up and crowding on platforms at the busiest stations during peak periods. The recent opening of the Evergreen Extension has resulted in higher ridership and crowding on the system more quickly than anticipated. This is expected to worsen with more people coming to the region, more development near stations, and planned bus expansion in the 10-Year Vision connecting to the SkyTrain system. Previous improvements and investments in the Phase One Plan only meets today’s needs TransLink procured 28 Mark III SkyTrain cars to meet the ridership demand from the Evergreen Extension, and the Phase One Plan of the 10-Year Vision includes 28 additional Mark III cars.

  • Translink Launches Historic New Bus Sevice
    MEDIA RELEASE TransLink launches historic new bus service RapidBus brings faster, more frequent service to eight Metro Vancouver communities January 6, 2020 COQUITLAM, B.C. – TransLink launches RapidBus on four routes – bringing customers up to 20 per cent faster bus service with higher frequencies, fewer stops, dedicated bus lanes, bus priority changes to intersections, and all-door boarding. RapidBus provides a more reliable bus service that can move more than 10,000 people per hour at peak times. The new service is made possible through investments from Phase One of the Mayors’ Vision, the Government of Canada, and the Province of BC. “We’re stepping up our bus game,” says TransLink CEO Kevin Desmond. “RapidBus is a crucial part of improving the region’s bus service through the Mayors’ Vision. These RapidBus routes will benefit eight communities and bring our customers a more reliable bus service that they deserve.” Coming every 10 minutes or better during peak hours and every 15 minutes or better in non-peak hours, customers can now catch a RapidBus on these four routes: • R1 King George Blvd – (Guildford Exchange/Newton Exchange) o Every eight minutes during peak hours • R3 Lougheed Hwy (Coquitlam Central Station/Haney Place) o Every ten minutes during peak hours • R4 41st Ave (UBC/Joyce-Collingwood Station) o Every three to six minutes during peak hours • R5 Hastings St (SFU/Burrard Station) o Every four to five minutes during peak hours RapidBus customers will enjoy new customer amenities such as softer seats, more space on 60-foot articulated buses, real-time digital signage, and audio next-bus information at RapidBus stops.
