History

This route was originally a trolleybus route with service between Joyce Station and 41st & Crown. Between the mid-1970s and June 2020, the route was served by a mixture of diesel and trolleybuses with the former running the majority of trips.

With an increasing demand for service to UBC along the 41st Avenue corridor, more and more 41 trips were extended west from 41st & Crown to UBC. This required the use of diesel buses due to a lack of trolley wires west of 41st & Crown to UBC. By the mid-1990s, trolleybuses were reduced to run during the AM peak and by September 2000, regularly scheduled trolleybus trips stopped on the 41. Throughout the 2000s and 2010s, trolleybuses undergoing driver training made occasional unscheduled appearances on the 41.

Regularly scheduled trolleybuses reappeared in June 2020.
