West Vancouver Blue Bus Transit system began in 1912, and is the oldest continuously operated, municipal system in North America. These buses are part of the TransLink network but continue to be owned and operated by the District Municipality of West Vancouver under a contract to TransLink.

Routes

WVMT operates 10 routes using the distinctive blue buses (not to be mistaken with B Line buses).

West Vancouver Municipal Transit operates the following routes:

All buses are designated "Fare Paid Zones", which means passengers are required by law to have a valid fare while on board the bus. Failing to pay the fare or not having a valid fare while on board the bus could result in the passenger being fined $173 and/or removed from the bus. Fare inspections are conducted by Transit Security Officers and members from the South Coast British Columbia Transportation Authority Police Service.

Fleet

All buses (except the Heritage Bus) are wheelchair accessible.

Numbering

West Vancouver buses are numbered by the production year and unit number. For example, bus number 951 would have been produced in 1995, and the first bus received. Exception to this are the preserved bus (pre-1991 numbering system) and the Community Shuttles.
