Route Details
This is an east-west route connecting 22nd Street Station in New Westminster, Marine Drive Station and Marpole Loop in Vancouver running primarily on Marine Drive. It is a Frequent Transit Network (FTN) route with service 15 minutes or better for 15 hours or more, seven days a week.
Eastbound trips depart from Marpole Loop heading east on SW Marine Drive, south on Yukon Street to Marine Drive Station, then north on Yukon Street, east on SW Marine Drive becoming Marine Drive, east on Southridge Drive and continuing south on Marine Drive, and east on 7th Avenue to 22nd Street Station.
Westbound trips begin from 22nd Street Station heading west on 7th Avenue and turns onto Marine Drive. It makes a slight detour onto Byrnepark Drive and Southridge Drive before returning to Marine Drive. The route continues to west and onto SE Marine Drive becoming SW Marine Drive, then turning south on Yukon Street to Marine Drive Station. From Marine Drive Station, it continues north on Cambie Street, west on SW Marine Drive, north onto Granville Street, east on 70th Avenue and south along Hudson Street to reach Marpole Loop.
