Inter-city transportation platforms

Here's what the 2024 BC election parties are promising.

BC NDP

  • Expand inter-city bus service between key transportation hubs

    "Connect the province with an expanded express bus service, building on our successful BC North bus service, including a new fleet of express buses between key transportation hubs." — An Action Plan for You, retrieved 2024-10-07

  • Work with CP Rail to provide a new rail service throughout the Fraser Valley

    "Connecting communities in the Fraser Valley through a new rail service, working jointly with CP Rail. This would provide cleaner, more efficient transit options for people and help reduce traffic congestion on Highway 1." — An Action Plan for You, retrieved 2024-10-07

  • Evaluate returning commuter rail from Vancouver to Squamish, Whistler, and Pemberton

    "Develop a business plan to evaluate bringing commuter rail back to key transportation routes, including Vancouver to Squamish, Whistler and Pemberton. This will help address crowding and traffic in this fast-growing corridor and increase convenient access to more affordable housing for workers who live in Squamish and Pemberton and commute to Whistler or Vancouver." — An Action Plan for You, retrieved 2024-10-07

  • Extend West Coast Express to Chilliwack

BC Conservatives

  • Develop a business case to analyse Fraser Valley regional rail between Chilliwack, Abbotsford, Langley, and Surrey
  • Expand regional transit service in the Sea-to-Sky corridor and consider extending TransLink services to Squamish
