R5 Hastings St

The R5 Hastings St is an express bus service with bus rapid transit elements in Metro Vancouver, Canada. Part of TransLink's RapidBus network, it travels along Hastings Street, a major east–west route, and connects Simon Fraser University to the SkyTrain system's Burrard station on the Expo Line in Downtown Vancouver. It replaced the 95 B-Line route on January 6, 2020.

History

Originally known as the 95 B-Line, the route started service on December 19, 2016, shortly after the opening of the Millennium Line's Evergreen Extension earlier that month. The new B-Line service replaced route 135, which had operated service between Downtown Vancouver and Simon Fraser University since April 1997. Starting on January 1, 2018, passengers with Compass Cards or proof of payment are allowed to board from any of the three doors on the bus. Passengers who are paying cash must board through the front door. On July 23, 2019, TransLink announced plans to launch a new express bus route to rebrand the B-Line service. The upgrades were completed in early January 2020, with the first service on the new R5 Hastings St beginning January 6.
