91 B-Line
Encyclopedia
The 91 B-Line is a future bus rapid transit
line in Metro Vancouver, Canada
that was outlined in the 2005 Vancouver/UBC Transit Plan for implementation in December 2009. It will replace the 43 Express Line
that travels along 41st Avenue, a major east-west route, and connects the University of British Columbia
(UBC) to Joyce Station on the SkyTrain
system. The service also connects to the Canada Line
at Oakridge – 41st Avenue Station.
Shortfalls in the 2010 TransLink budget meant a delay in the implementation of 91 B-Line, the 95 B-Line
(replacing 135 Express service on Hastings Street), and other service expansions. Nevertheless the 43 Express service was included as a main transit connection in a plan released following the opening of the Canada Line, indicating the importance of the route within the Translink network.
