TransLink is looking for input on the future of rapid transit for Surrey. Fast becoming one of the largest cities in the province, Surrey’s population is looking for a reliable and efficient way to get around. As a result, TransLink is conducting a study to see what residents are looking for in providing prospective services for the future.

Some of the ideas TransLink has come up with utilize bus rapid transit, light rail transit or rail rapid transit. Some of these methods would run down busy streets and highways — King George Boulevard, Fraser Highway, 104th Avenue, and 152nd Street.

Community workshops will be open to the public to allow residents to provide feedback and participate in discussions on the type of transit solutions that would benefit the community. Alternatively, online questionnaires are available for those who may not be able to attend any of the sessions.
