Starting Monday, December 19, bus routes are changing across Metro Vancouver. Four times per year, TransLink adjusts bus service to better meet community needs and will introduce service to provide better connections to the Evergreen Extension. As always, you can use TransLink's Trip Planner to find the most efficient way to go from A to B.
About 22 bus routes will change in the Tri-Cities; making this one of the largest service changes in TransLink’s history. View some of the key bus route changes below, or visit translink.ca/servicechanges for a detailed list of all upcoming route changes.

- Discontinuation of the “C” (C24/C25/C26/C27/C28/C29/C30/C36/C37/C38/C40)
Community Shuttle buses across the Tri-Cities are being renamed to no longer have the “C”. Customers can now board any bus with their route number on it, regardless of the type of bus that stops.
The now opened Evergreen Extension extends the Millennium Line to Coquitlam, through Burnaby and Port Moody, making Vancouver more connected than ever before. As a result, there will be changes to bus routes in the Tri-Cities starting December 19th.
