TransLink says it is reducing bus service across Metro Vancouver, along with SeaBus and West Coast Express schedules, as ridership plummets amid the coronavirus pandemic.
The transit authority also announced Saturday that a planned fare increase set to come into effect on July 1 will be deferred to a later date.
Starting Monday, bus service will be reduced “with a focus on routes with very low ridership,” TransLink said in an emailed statement.
Priority will be given to routes that continue to see full buses at peak times. The SeaBus schedule will also be reduced to 30-minute intervals throughout the day.
