History
- January 1981 - Service introduced as 358 Sunnyside, a shopper service connecting North Bluff & Johnston to 24th Street & 184th Avenue. The morning trip ran in the counterclockwise direction and the afternoon trip in the clockwise direction[1]
- September 1993 - Service discontinued[2]
- June 1998 - Service proposed to be introduced in June 1998 as 358 Seaside (no relation to the former 358 Sunnyside/White Rock Centre shopper service) following requests from residents for a shuttle service from Semiahmoo Mall and White Rock Centre to Marine Drive[3]
- July 1998 - Service introduced as a daily service operating every 40 minutes[4]
- August 1998 - All trips revised to be non-accessible after Orion II units are withdrawn from service. Northern terminus revised to be on 152nd Street instead of North Bluff Road to provide better transit and shopping connections. Service on Thrift, Foster and North Bluff discontinued[5]
- April 2001 - Service discontinued due to extremely low ridership and funding shortfall.[6] Portions were later replaced by the C52 Seaside/White Rock Centre service over a year later[7][8]
