The First Day of RapidBus in Vancouver

In January 2020, TransLink started service on 4 RapidBus routes. These routes include:

R1 King George Blvd (Newton Exchange // Guildford)
R3 Lougheed Highway (Haney Place // Coqutilam Station)
R4 41st Avenue (UBC // Joyce Station)
R5 Hastings Street (SFU // Burrard Station)

The routes are an upgrade over the existing B-Lines. More info can be found at https://new.translink.ca/projects/rap...

480 tidbit:

The 480 is intended meant to be a direct route between Bridgeport Station and UBC. The only riders suffering from these cuts are those who come into Bridgeport Station via the Park and Ride and regional bus, those without a U-Pass, and those who need direct access to Granville Street. When coming in from Richmond Centre, riders technically still have to transfer twice. Frequency on the R4, in addition to new Canada Line trains, makes standing on a 480 seem redundant.
