UBC Rapid Transit survey

  Frederick Linsmeyer • April 19, 2010 • Local

TransLink, along with the British Columbia provincial government, is conducting studies for expanding rapid transit out to the University of British Columbia. The route to the university is one of the busiest in the city and the transportation authority is looking for feedback and input on what would be the best method of providing reliable transit along the Broadway corridor.

Six transportation methods, including bus, light rail (e.g. Olympic Line), rail rapid transit (e.g. SkyTrain), or a mixture of bus and rail rapid transit, are being put on the table. Commuters and local residents are being asked to participate to help shape how they will get around the area along with what would be the most practical and economical mode of transportation.

Visit TransLink’s Be Part of the Plan page for more information and to take the survey.
