r/Translink

i am typing this as my bus is broken down on the side of the highway. has anyone else noticed translink has been failing miserably lately? i have had to uber to work 3 times this week cause my bus either doesn’t show up, drives right past me even tho it’s empty, or now am stranded on the side of the highway. i understand things happen but this is a daily occurrence at this point. and with the fares just going up it is extra frustrating. instead of the fare increase going straight into the ceos pocket can we please work on better service? i don’t pay $120 a month to be stranded on the side of the highway. sorry for the rant i am just extra frustrated this morning.

The route listed on the bus stop has a route which is numbered “1602” with the terminus being “Main Street”

Why doesn't the tunnel replacement have provisions for a potential SkyTrain expansion? The now cancelled bridge had been designed with a future SkyTrain line in mind. So what gives?

Hi guys! I have a probably kind of stupid question about monthly passes that I found confusing/semi-conflicting answers to online, and I was hoping someone here might have some insight (thank you in advance)!

I purchased a monthly pass on July 1st, originally intending to use it for the month of July, but it's looking like I might have another transportation option instead. If I never tap that pass this month, would I be able to use it for August, or is it strictly for use in July since that's when it was purchased?

So the one thing that I will "fault" our transit for is the major lack of commuter rail.

WCE was acceptable for 95, but it's 2026 and we still only have a part time one directional heavy rail line.

Montreal and Toronto have several all day or at the very least daily including weekend services.

I know we're up against leasing the lines from cp/cn, but I'm sure just like go we can acquire our own rail or build some out.

I don't recall seeing anything in the 2050 planning for commuters other than sending the expo line to Langley.

TransLink fares will go up five per cent on July 1. As Sohrab Sandhu reports, Langley is the second municipality in Metro Vancouver to endorse a low-income transit pass.

Roadwork in the area of River Rd and Miller Road!

Reroute starts today! Expect delays

Does anyone know (or wish to guess) how much it'd cost to put a a retired mk I car in your garden?

I assume flat-bedding it within the south coast would easily cost you ~ $5k - $10k, but does anyone know how much BCRTC would charge for the car itself?

Members of Unifor have voted against ratifying the proposed collective bargaining agreement. The result sends the agreement back for further negotiation between the union and employer.

Hello!

I was visiting Vancouver last week for the WC and staying in Coquitlam with my friends. We took the Millenium Line -> 99 -> Canada Line to go back to the Airport and paid using credit card.

When we tapped in on the Expo line - I noticed a second 6.60 pre-auth was done on my card. Now the posted invoice has come and we were charged 6.60 + 1.60 in total for the trip.

We tapped in the Expo line inside the 90 minutes.

It’s like the billing system didn’t compute our previous trip as 3-zones as we were coming from the bus and charged us the 2-zone AddFare at YVR.

Is this normal ?

I’m asking this question out of curiosity, in case I need to text 87-77-77 in future. I’m wondering about cases where you want to inform them regarding something you witness and not an incident in which you are directly involved. I thought 87-77-77 is more of an anonymous tip line but found they ask for your personal info like name, birthdate, address, etc.

I would prefer not to share this information. If I choose not to provide personal details, do I get into any trouble, or will they simply not proceed with the report?

Bit of a reach but I’ve seen people do this before, I’d be kicking myself in the leg if I didn’t give it a shot. You dropped your vape leaving the Translink SeaBus and I caught up and returned it to you as you were walking towards the expo line. I found you quite attractive but I was too nervous to strike up a proper conversation, who wouldn’t be. We caught each other’s gaze enough times to make me think the feeling might’ve been mutual. If you see this please reach out, I’d love to get to know you.
