Metro Vancouver's transit agency is in severe weather response mode today.
The heavy snowfall overnight across Metro Vancouver is impacting the region's public transit system, and TransLink is warning anyone who has to use its services to "expect considerable delays."
In particular, bus and SkyTrain lines will see the most significant service issues, including delays and cancellations. And while TransLink indicates they are providing bus service, it will be "minimal" in some areas, "particularly parts of Vancouver, the North Shore, and Burnaby," according to an alert issued early Tuesday morning.
"Millennium Line is running with some delays. Buses aren't doing too well right now," reads one recent tweet from TransLink. For SkyTrain service, riders will see staff operating and monitoring trains in order to ensure snow on the tracks does not trigger emergency braking. At some stations, delays can be expected to allow staff to clear snow and ice from doors and platforms.
To keep tracks clear, not only did TransLink operate trains through the night but also runs a de-icing train, which will continue to operate Tuesday. SkyTrain Here's what TransLink is doing in response to snow on SkyTrain lines: Bus Customers can sign up for transit alerts, check @TransLink on Twitter, or call the Customer Information line at 604-953-3333 before heading out to get the best up-to-date information about specific routes.
