Arbutus Station + 99 B-Line: A Smoother UBC Commute?

For commuters heading toward UBC, the planned Broadway Subway extension to Arbutus Station could make cross-city trips more straightforward when service begins in 2027. Riders are expected to be able to connect at Arbutus with 99 B-Line service toward UBC, adding a useful rapid-transit link from the Broadway corridor. However, current frequent buses on Broadway, 4th Avenue, and Burrard will continue to matter. Your actual time savings will depend on your starting point, transfer timing, and daily service conditions. If you work or live in Kitsilano, compare the routes you use most before making commute or real estate decisions.
