History

Main article: Trolleybuses in Vancouver

The 10 Granville/Downtown route has been altered multiple times throughout its existence and had various different branches. It primarily ran on Hastings Street through Downtown Vancouver and to Blanca Loop near UBC for most of its history. Its most recent form prior to its current form was running as 10 Granville/Hastings between Kootenay Loop and Marine Drive Station via Downtown Vancouver, running primarily on Granville and Hastings streets. Today, only the Granville Street portion runs as the 10.

These current routes run on portions that were formerly part of the 10 route:

Hastings Branch

  • 1957 - Westbound trips ran as 10 Tenth to Blanca Loop and eastbound trips as 14 Hastings to Kootenay Loop or 16 Renfrew to Kingsway & Earles
  • August 1968 - 10 Tenth/14 Hastings service extended west to UBC from Blanca Loop, with westbound buses continuing to service Blanca Loop and eastbound buses stopping at 10th & Blanca instead of using the loop. Due to a lack of wires into UBC, a mix of diesel buses and trolleybuses were used. Diesel buses ran as 10 Tenth–UBC via Blvd. with some running as 10 Tenth–UBC via Chanc. on select trips via Chancellor Boulevard. Trolleybuses ran during the AM peak hours only and displayed 10 Tenth, terminating at Blanca Loop. All eastbound buses ran as 14 Hastings or 45 UBC Express.[1] This extension into UBC replaces portions of the 43/44 University, which ran between Blanca Loop and University Boulevard & Main Mall
