I’ve only been on the R1 King George Bvld RapidBus once when I did a Busride on route 301 then switched to the R1 then got on the SkyTrain at King George Station on the Expo Line then I went home but I’ve never done the R6 Scott Road RapidBus because i didn’t have that much time because of school and other stuff and that’s the number 1 route I wanted to do since it is the newest route Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Express691 Posted October 1 Report Share Posted October 1 https://www.translink.ca/news/2024/september/commercial broadway skytrain station escalator replacement The main escalators from platforms 3-5 (Expo Line) are undergoing replacement as of 2 weeks ago. However, this evening I saw that they had installed a red fence along the north half of the station between platforms 3 and 4. I have a hunch that this is to deter people from using inbound trains to walk between platforms 3 and 5. I think a long-term solution is needed. What you do is close platform 3 entirely (inbound platforms on the original station) and have platform 4 overtake the entire station area. In fact this might be better than the current setup in place since 2019, an inverted side-platform at that. I also think the south side of platform 5 is underutilized. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Express691 Posted October 17 Report Share Posted October 17 R1 no longer stops at Whalley Boulevard in both directions (since Spring, apparently), neither does 320/501. I have bets that the area has advanced in its redevelopment stages. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Though they just finished repaving from what I noticed riding the 337 recently. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looks like it was either removed some time mid-summer or at the start of this sheet. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Busmanic92 Posted Tuesday at 03:03 AM Report Share Posted Tuesday at 03:03 AM "TransLink then claimed that if a new model of funding transit is not established by the end of 2025, it would be forced to cut half of its bus services, reduce SkyTrain and SeaBus services, and potentially eliminate the West Coast Express" More crowding on the 701, skytrains.. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
