==Route Details==
This route provided overnight north-south service and was the only route that did not service Downtown Vancouver. The route operated between approximately 1:30AM to 4:00AM with the final trip having left Nanaimo Street at Hastings by 3:30AM.
This was a north-south NightBus route running in Vancouver, running as a midway connection between the [[Coast Mountain Bus Company route N19 'Surrey Central Station / New Westminster / Downtown Nightbus'|N19]] and [[Coast Mountain Bus Company route N35 'SFU / Downtown Nightbus'|N35]], running between Earles Street & Kingsway and Nanaimo Street & E. Hastings Street. Service ran daily every 30 minutes in the late-night hours in lieu of regular [[Coast Mountain Bus Company route 16 '29th Avenue Stn / Arbutus'|16 29th Avenue Station/Arbutus]] service. This was the only NightBus route to not service Downtown Vancouver.


The route began on Nanaimo Street at East Hastings Street and looped onto Renfrew Street by Nanaimo and McGill. It took Renfrew Street southbound, Boyd Diversion to get onto Nootka Steet and East 29th Avenue to stop at 29th Avenue SkyTrain Station. The route then left the station by 29th Avenue, took Earles Street southbound and terminated on Earles at Kingsway by looping around Horley Street, Moss onto Kingsway. Northbound trips (N16 Renfrew–Hastings) headed down Earles Street from Kingsway and stopped by 29th Avenue SkyTrain Station before it continued down Nootka, Boyd and Renfrew. It terminated by turning on Hastings at Renfrew westbound and then onto Nanaimo.

Continuing from 29th Avenue Station, trips went east on E. 29th Avenue, north on Nootka Street becoming Boyd Diversion and Renfrew Street, west on E. Hastings Street, and north on Nanaimo Street to Nanaimo & E. Hastings Street.


The N16 paralleled portions of the [[Coast Mountain Bus Company route 16 '29th Avenue Stn / Arbutus'|16 29th Avenue Station/Arbutus]].

Hastings Street heading north on Nanaimo becoming McGill Street heading east, south on Renfrew Street becoming Boyd Diversion and Nootka Street, and west on E. 29th Avenue to 29th Avenue Station.
