This upgrade is part of TransLink’s Bus Projects, which are working toward improving bus speed, reliability, and customer experience on the bus network.
Tsawwassen Ferry Terminal Bus Shelter Project
Located about 36-kilometres from downtown Vancouver, the Tsawwassen Terminal operates sailings to Swartz Bay, Duke Point, Departure Bay, and the Southern Gulf Islands. As a major terminal, it’s an often-busy area that serves thousands of passengers every day.
Buses operate daily from the terminal, and they offer a good way to get to and from your sailings. But as this weekend’s recent weather will tell you, you may end up standing outside and getting soaked in the rain while you wait for your ride.
From November to December 2026, TransLink will be building a bus shelter at BC Ferries’ Tsawwassen Terminal to offer weather protection, as well as ease congestion and improve bus operations. The shelter will be located outside of the terminal entrance at Bus Bay 2, where buses pick up riders.
According to TransLink, construction will take approximately five weeks, starting on November 3. Detours may occur, although access to the ferry terminal and bus service intends to remain unchanged during construction.
For more information, you can contact TransLink’s Customer Information Team at (604) 953-3333, available daily from 6:30am to 10:00pm.
