West Vancouver Blue Bus
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
West Vancouver’s Blue Bus Transit system began in 1912, and is the oldest continuously operated, municipal system in North America. These buses are part of the TransLink network but continue to be owned and operated by the District Municipality of West Vancouver under a contract to Translink.

- 258 only operates during peak hours when then University of British Columbia is in winter session (September to April).
Beginning June 25, 2007 all buses, including West Vancouver buses, will be designated "Fare Paid Zones." This means passengers will be required to retain Proof of Payment while on board a bus. Failure to pay the fare or retain proof of payment will result in the offending person being ejected from the bus and fined $173. Random fare inspections will be conducted by Constables from the South Coast British Columbia Transportation Authority Police Service, and transit security personnel.
