TransLink

TransLink is the integrated, multi-modal transportation authority for Metro Vancouver. Together with our operating companies, Coast Mountain Bus Company, BC Rapid Transit, West Coast Express, and Metro Vancouver Transit Police, we are responsible for planning, managing, and operating the transportation network to help meet their communities’ unique needs – now and in the future. The transit system spans 21 municipalities with a total population of 2.5 million people, and a service area that covers more than 1,800 square kilometers – over twice the size of Canada’s five other largest cities. Each and every day TransLink helps hundreds of thousands of customers get to the people and places that matter most.
