I'm still a bit confused they haven't made announcements for Granville and Vancouver City Centre stations saying "exit here for bus connections to Horseshoe Bay ferry terminal."

Michael Marriott Posted September 7, 2019 Report Share Posted September 7, 2019 The signage for the invound 246 has been changed from "246 Vancouver" to "246 Downtown". No other North Shore routes seem to have been updated, so it seems this change was slipped in as part of the 246/249 split. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A subtle change that will most likely start appearing on other route destination signs soon, I guess we'll find out in January if this is true when the 240 is extended to Lynn Valley Centre.

Dane Posted September 9, 2019 Report Share Posted September 9, 2019 The old, and very long lived Vancouver / Downtown / Burrard St essentially meaning the same thing was always an odd Vancouver transit thing from the BC Transit era. I suppose with all the changes to routes into Vancouver with Canada Line / M Line and the forthcoming RapidBus replacement of the 95 the North Shore routes were the last vestage of 'Vancouver'! Will the 21X and 25X change as well I wonder? Does West Van control its own route naming convention? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
briguychau Posted September 9, 2019 Report Share Posted September 9, 2019 I really wish they would change routes like the 403 Three Road, which actually goes away from No 3 Rd for half its journey. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes but it I'm anywhere on Steveston trying to get to anywherr No 3, I would have to take the 403 Bridgeport Station, because the 403 Three Road goes the other way, and that's hyper confusing. My point is, it would be better (in my opinion) if the buses are signed with their destination instead of the street they run on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why not a route name and terminus, or otherwise indicating both the terminus and the bus’ routing to get there? We do, after all, have two-line signs on most of the fleet now. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
