Three priority transit corridors have been selected by the Mayors’ Council on Regional Transportation.
Metro Vancouver’s new bus rapid transit routes will be along King George Boulevard from Surrey Centre to White Rock, from Langley Centre to Haney Place and from Metrotown to the Northshore.
Incredible news today that @TransLink has selected King George Boulevard as one of the region’s first BRT routes.

With dedicated lanes and high-frequency service, BRT from City Centre to White Rock will improve connection to SkyTrain, including the future SkyTrain extension. pic.twitter.com/IpDMkr1p0T
A statement from the council says the corridors were selected based on ridership potential that will increase access to jobs, future housing and other developments.
The priority corridors will have traffic-separate lanes, light signal priority at intersections and high-capacity buses.
