97 B-Line
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The 97 B-Line is a bus rapid transit line in Greater Vancouver, Canada. It connects Coquitlam Central Station on the West Coast Express system to Lougheed Town Centre Station on the SkyTrain system. It is operated by Coast Mountain Bus Company and funded by TransLink. Going west, the route goes along Clarke Rd., St. John's St., Ioco Rd, Guildford Way and Pinetree Way, and serves Burnaby, Port Moody and Coquitlam. The line carries over 6,000 passengers daily ([1], PDF file) and will be replaced by the Evergreen Line in 2011.
Unlike the two other B-Line services, this route uses both regular-length and articulated low-floor buses, but with no special paint scheme.
