SkyTrain to UBC. Commuting to UBC made better.

The Broadway Subway Project, which is under construction now, stops at Arbutus Street. UBC-bound passengers will need to transfer to B-Line buses, which are expected to be overcrowded from opening day of the Broadway Subway Project. A SkyTrain extension from Arbutus to UBC is being studied and technical planning is underway but funding for the next phase of work hasn’t been confirmed.

Let’s not stop short. Now is the time to bring SkyTrain all the way to UBC!

Reasons to love SkyTrain to UBC

Faster, easier commutes

With SkyTrain to UBC, travel times from communities across Metro Vancouver will be reduced by 15-25 minutes. You’ll be able to travel from Coquitlam or Surrey Central to UBC in under an hour. This means more time for studying, getting involved on campus or spending time with friends and family for the 55,000 students, faculty and staff that commute to UBC by transit each day.

Better for the environment

SkyTrain to UBC will make it easier for more people to use sustainable transportation to get to and from campus. With the Broadway Subway, it will boost regional transit ridership by more than 54,000* new transit trips per day, reducing greenhouse gas emissions and helping the university reach its 2040 target of having two-thirds of all trips to and from campus made by walking, cycling and transit a decade earlier.
