Where will the RapidBus stop in Surrey and Langley?
The RapidBus service between Coquitlam/Burnaby and Langley will be a viable transportation alternative to single-occupant vehicles for people using the Port Mann Bridge. With few stops and using HOV lanes, the RapidBus will be just as fast or faster than travelling by car.
The RapidBus service will operate between the following communities:
- Coquitlam/Burnaby, Surrey and Langley with connecting bus service to Abbotsford, communities north of the Fraser via the new Golden Ears Bridge and the rest of the Burrard Peninsula via connections to existing SkyTrain routes.
The PMH1 Project is working with TransLink to develop the RapidBus system. The new 202 Street Park & Ride and Transit Exchange in Langley will be the eastern hub for the new Highway 1 RapidBus. Transit users can travel from the 202 Street Park & Ride to the Lougheed Skytrain Station in less than 25 minutes.

How many new lanes are you adding to Highway 1?
Two new highway lanes are being added in each direction from the Port Mann Bridge to 200 Street in Langley. From the 200 Street Interchange to 216 Street, one new lane is being added in each direction.
Improvements beyond 202 Street are not part of the current Design-Build agreement construction scope and are scheduled to be completed within the 2031 timeframe.

How far will the new HOV lane extend?
There will be an eastbound and westbound HOV lane along the length of this project (from Vancouver to Langley). This means that in Surrey and Langley, one of the new highway lanes will be for HOV/transit vehicles only. The eastbound and westbound HOV lane will terminate at 216 Street in Langley.
Improvements beyond 202 Street are not part of the current Design-Build agreement construction scope and are scheduled to be completed within the 2031 timeframe.

What is scheduled completion date for the 202 Street Park & Ride?
Concurrent with the PMH1 project, the Ministry of Transportation and Infrastructure is constructing a new Park & Ride and Transit Exchange at 202 Street, south of Highway 1, with a HOV and transit on-ramp to Highway 1 westbound and a HOV and transit off-ramp from Highway 1 eastbound. This transit improvement project is a partnership of the Province of British Columbia, the Government of Canada, through the Infrastructure Stimulus Fund, and TransLink.
Construction will take place between summer 2010 and spring 2012.
