TRANSLINK’S winter weather plan is active and extra staff are deployed to keep customers moving. All transit services are operational, but service may be slower than normal due to inclement weather.
Customers are advised to build in extra travel time, dress appropriately for the weather, and check their route by signing up forĀ Transit AlertsĀ or by calling TransLink Customer Information at 604.953.3333.
Here’s what customers should know for each mode:
SkyTrain
- SkyTrain is running to all stations on all three lines.
- Trains have attendants positioned at the front to prevent emergency braking from snowfall. This means there will be lower frequencies than normal.
- Expo Line service will be increased as much as possible before and after tonight’s Canucks game.
BusĀ
- There is bus service on every route, with many 60-foot articulated buses swapped out for 40-foot buses.
- Some routes in high-elevation areas have been detoured or modified.
- Customers should checkĀ their specific routeĀ for impacts.
- TransLink remains in close communication with municipalities on clearing priority roads.
HandyDART
- HandyDART is prioritizing customers with medical appointments, work, or school. Service availability may vary depending on local conditions.
SeaBus
- SeaBus is running regular service.
TransLink continues to prepare for more snow and adverse conditions throughout the day. Weather and road conditions change quickly and we will continue to update customers throughĀ Transit AlertsĀ as conditions change.
