TransLink: Responsible for introducing bus services, but letsdevelopment or other stopping facility slip and simply turns toservices without this stop. Fails to consult w/province and City of
City of Surrey: Does not ensure alternate stop facilities given canof nearby development. Fails to consult w/TransLink and province

ADDRESSING EXTRA SERVICE NEED
Current 555 arrangement from Carvolth toBraid described as full bus in peak hours 38,000 boardings each month
Solution proposal: Double frequencybetween Lougheed/Braid and 156 St only(5-min peak service) in peak hours throughshort-turn 555 East Guildford
Services existing E. Guildford Park & Ride!
Great solution for service phasing
Could result in FTN status if off-peak service
is also doubled, to 15 minutes
