Transit in Surrey

Take transit to get around Surrey with the transit services planned and funded by TransLink (Website. New window.), our regional transportation authority.

We love public transit for its ability to build liveable, economically vibrant communities. That's why we're advocating for the next step, Rapid Transit Now.

Jump on SkyTrain from 1 of Surrey's 4 stations on the Expo Line, take a bus from 1 of 6 bus loops and along 33 conventional routes, or hop on a community shuttle along 1 of 10 routes in your area. If it's your first time, get TravelSmart's tips and resources for taking transit (Website. New window.) to have an easy commute.

Bus stop amenities and accessibility, including benches, shelters and sidewalks, are the City's responsibility.

Smoking is prohibited in bus shelters under the Surrey Public Health Smoking Protection By-law, 2008, No. 16694 (PDF. New window.).
