New Service Areas

TransLink is proposing four new seasonal bus routes to popular regional outdoor destinations, made possible through the 2025 Investment Plan. Metro Vancouver has beautiful natural spaces, and TransLink is working to provide more transit access to these popular locations. Delivering better access to nature is a part of TransLink’s 10-year Access for Everyone plan, and three of these destinations are not directly accessible by transit.

These proposed weekend and holiday routes would serve Belcarra Regional Park, Campbell Valley Regional Park, Centennial Beach (Boundary Bay Regional Park), and Golden Ears Provincial Park. TransLink is planning to launch these routes as early as summer 2026.

The new routes are designed to:

  • Make nature more accessible by providing direct, seasonal transit connections.
  • Reduce car traffic, parking demand, and congestion near park entrances.
  • Provide equitable transit service for Metro Vancouver residents to enjoy outdoor spaces across the region.

The service plan for summer 2026 includes:

  • Belcarra: Extension of Route 181 to Belcarra Regional Park (every 30 minutes, from 7:30 a.m. – 11:45 p.m. on Saturdays and from 8:30 a.m. – 11:45 p.m. on Sundays/holidays).
  • Campbell Valley: Route from Langley Centre to Campbell Valley Regional Park (every 60 minutes, from 8 a.m. – 9 p.m. on Saturdays and from 9 a.m. – 9 p.m. on Sundays/holidays).
  • Golden Ears: Route from Haney Place to Alouette Lake, Golden Ears Provincial Park (every 30 minutes, from 7 a.m. – 9 p.m. on Saturdays and from 7 a.m. – 9 p.m. on Sundays/holidays).

Depending on construction, the service plan for summer 2027 includes:

  • Centennial Beach: Route from South Delta Exchange to Centennial Beach (every 30 minutes, from 8 a.m. – 9 p.m. on Saturdays and from 9 a.m. – 9 p.m. on Sundays/holidays), pending completion of parking lot renovations.

These proposed new routes and service improvements are the first of seven connections to regionally significant parks and beaches identified in the 2025 Investment Plan and are now in the planning phase. Keep your eyes open for additional information coming next year.
