Coast Mountain Bus Company: Difference between revisions

[[File:Coast Mountain Bus Company Community Shuttle logo-a.png|170px|left|link=]] Community Shuttle is a minibus service offered by TransLink and operated by Coast Mountain Bus Company and [[West Vancouver Municipal Transit]], with a select number of routes in Langley and Bowen Island operated by [[Transdev Canada]]. Introduced in September 2000, the Community Shuttle was a cost-effective solution to providing bus service on routes that had low ridership and were expensive to operate. The Community Shuttle service maintains transit coverage while operating a smaller vehicle with lowered costs and serves as a method of traffic calming in quiet, residential areas. Initially introduced in the Burnaby Heights area, the Community Shuttle service has expanded to operate in every city in Metro Vancouver, both as a replacement for low-performing routes and a new service in communities that lacked transit service. A select number of routes operate interchangeably with Community Shuttle minibuses and conventional buses depending on rider demand.
