Bus Rapid Transit Project Clears Next Step in Surrey

Surrey council has unanimously approved advancing TransLink’s King George Boulevard Bus Rapid Transit (BRT) project to the 30 per cent design stage. The move will refine corridor cross-sections, station layouts at key hubs like Surrey Central and Newton, and assess traffic impacts. City staff emphasized conditions to protect business access and traffic flow while integrating urban design features. Officials say the milestone marks real momentum for rapid transit in Surrey, with the project expected to deliver faster, more reliable service along one of the city’s busiest corridors.
