GoPlaces! MapIt’s your playground—explore it by bus! We’re excited to share our brand new GoPlaces! Map designed specifically with YOU in mind! This teen-friendly map shows the West Vancouver Blue Bus route, as well as a handful of youth-friendly destinations around town, including West Vancouver recreation and youth centres, parks and sports fields. The map also shows public and private West Vancouver elementary and secondary schools as well as the nearest bus stops in their vicinity. We’ll keep updating this map as we go, so check-back often! Visit westvancouver.ca/bluebus.
Resources & AppsHere are a few resources that will make bus trip planning a breeze!
Tranlink.ca/tripplanner
Tell us where you’re starting from and where you want to go and we’ll find the best route to get you there. Trip Planner tells you how long your trip will take, if there are any transfers involved and how much it costs. We’ll even show you if there’s any walking required to get from one stop to another.
Westvancouver.ca/bluebus
Whether you’re looking for the Blue Bus schedule or fares—you’ll find it here!
What’s your Transit App?
Aside from TransLink’s mobile site (m.translink.ca), there are also plenty of Apps that show you live, up-to-the-minute bus locations, access to estimated bus times, nearby bus stops and more! Popular choices include the Transit App, Radar App and Bus Tracker. Look for these and others on your device’s App Store.
WestVanTeenzBusIt!
Compass CardAs of September 1, 2016, it is easier for teens to receive concession transit fares in Metro Vancouver. All youth 14 to 18 years old are eligible for concession fares with valid photo identification. A GoCard decal on student IDs is no longer required!
Acceptable forms of ID include:
• a valid school identification card issued by any secondaryschool which displays the student’s photograph, name, schooland validation by a school official; or
• a picture identification issued by any national, provincial orstate government agency showing age or date of birth.
Compass Card
The Compass Card is a reloadable fare card that works everywhere on transit in Metro Vancouver. It’s convenient, easy to use, safe and secure. Now you can load your fare onto one card, reload online, and tap your way across the system. Find out how to get your compass card at translink.ca/compasscard, and start riding today!
The 411 on using your CompassCard!
Using your Compass Card is super easy! Simply tap in when entering the bus—buses are tap-in only, so there is no need to tap out when exiting.
WestVanTeenzBusIt!Here’s the 411!Hey West Van Teens!
Whether you’ve only ever considered taking the bus, or never given it a second thought—we hope that the info we share in this handout will:
• Highlight some of the pros of traveling by bus—there aremany!
• Demystify some of the common misconceptions about takingthe bus.
• Share a few friendly tips around bus etiquette.
• Connect you with info about getting and using yourCompassCard.
• Point you towards some handy apps and resources designedto help you plan your next trip, and keep you in-the-knowwhile you wait for your bus.
We’re also excited to share our brand new ‘GoPlaces’ map featuring a number for youth-friendly destinations around your community!
Let’s get started!
What’s not to love!There seem to be a number of misconceptions around taking the bus, so we’re here to share all the things your peers love about bussing it!
• I’m the master of my own schedule!
• I don’t need to always rely on my parents or friends for rides.
• I can go places with a bigger group, without being limited bythe number of people that fit into my parents’ or my car.
• I can do my part in reducing car traffic emissions in mycommunity.
• The Compass Card allows me to go anywhere, anytimewithout worrying about carrying around change—it’s so easyto use!
• I can catch up on reading or connect with friends whileen-route to wherever I’m going.
• I can listen to podcasts that I typically don’t have time tolisten to.
• I can simply enjoy the ride and scenery.
• I can read a book, or catch up on current events
• I can get a head-start on my homework!
• Thanks to the HOV lane, taking the bus is a great alternativeto driving my car into Vancouver—I save time, and don’t needto worry about finding, or paying for parking—it’s a win-win!
Bus Etiquette
In case you’ve ever wondered if there is such a thing as ‘bus etiquette’, we thougth we’d share these with you!
As a courtesy to your fellow transit passengers, please:
• Keep doorways clear. Stand back and allow passengers toexit before boarding buses and trains. On the SkTrain, if youprevent doors from closing, you could cause the entire train toshut down service!
• Leave the courtesy seats for those who need them, unless youreally need one yourself. The seats closest to the doors arereserved for people with disabilities or older travelers.
• Keep the volume down on your personal communicationsdevice, whether it’s a cell phone or an iPod.
• Don’t eat while you’re on transit. It can be dangerous if you’reholding a scalding hot drink and food smells are amplified insmall close quarters.
• Put down backpacks, luggage, grocery bags & laptops. Largebags can become dangerous for those around you if you’reunsteady and start swaying.
• Walk left. Stand right. This is an internationally-acceptedcommon courtesy when using an escalator. Just like driving,stay on your right unless you’re passing.
• Have your Compass Card ready!
• When departing, a friendly smile and a “thank you” arealways appreciated!
