Route Details
This is a east-west route providing direct service for neighbourhoods along Granville Street to the Downtown Core and SkyTrain service. The route is part of the Frequent Transit Network (FTN) providing bus service 15 minutes or better for 15 hours or more, seven days a week.
Service begins from Marine Drive Station running along Southwest Marine Drive to Granville Street northbound. Trips cross the Granville Street Bridge into Downtown Vancouver routing by Granville and then looping by Cordova eastbound, Richards Street and then Pender westbound back onto Granville back to Marine Drive Station.
With the introduction of the Canada Line and cancellation of the 98 Burrard Station/Richmond Centre (B-Line) , service on the route was significantly increased. Early morning service is provided from approximately 4:30 AM. A NightBus route, the N10 Richmond/Downtown NightBus
bus, provides service along Granville Street when regular service ceases.
Weekend, holiday, days preceding holidays and Friday evening service after 9PM will continue to operate along Howe Street southbound and Seymour Street northbound when Granville Mall access is restricted to pedestrians only.
