Starting Sept. 7, the new R2 Marine-Willingdon RapidBus will extend from Phibbs Exchange to Metrotown Station via Hastings Street and Willingdon Avenue.

One of the busiest transit corridors in the region, the existing R2 RapidBus carries more than 1.9 million boardings each year.

[...] the R2 connects customers to a corridor that provides access to approximately 98,000 jobs, and access to major destinations and connections across the region, including:

• Park Royal
• Capilano Mall
• Lonsdale Quay and Lower Lonsdale
• Burnaby Heights
• Brentwood Town Centre Station (Millennium Line)
• BCIT
• Metrotown Station (Expo Line)
