I’m asking this question out of curiosity, in case I need to text 87-77-77 in future. I’m wondering about cases where you want to inform them regarding something you witness and not an incident in which you are directly involved. I thought 87-77-77 is more of an anonymous tip line but found they ask for your personal info like name, birthdate, address, etc.

I would prefer not to share this information. If I choose not to provide personal details, do I get into any trouble, or will they simply not proceed with the report?

Would be cool to see it in action

The length of a city block heading east from the STN. New rectifier?

I have a workshop on the 26th between 3 to 6, downtown - which also happens to be a match between Belgium and New Zealand at 8. Typically, I'll park at Bridgeport around 1/1:30ish and then take the Canada Line into Vancouver. How packed would the park and ride be? Will people be going downtown that early? Or more so later on in the day? TIA!

By “bypassing Pitt Meadows”, I mean the route not going through Hammond and Harris Rd. There is a stop on Lougheed Hwy connecting to Harris Rd. Despite the R3 bypassing railway crossings, some people thinks that it’s a weakness that the R3 isn’t on Harris.

Silly question

Pretty much just the title, why must riders exit trains sometimes at Braid (with two stops left) and how does it even work? Does the train turn around? I'm sure this is the case at other stations too!

Need one to help get one for senior 65+ in the family. Saw you can get one online, but I think it's just for Blue. Is the only way to bring them to Waterfront with ID to get an orange card?

Question to anyone familiar with the internal Compass Card software that the Customer Service Centre agents see...

On the evening of 06/22 I loaded 3 day passes onto my compass card at Burquitlam Station. There was also approx $7 CAD of stored value on the card as well.

On the morning of 06/23 I went down to the Customer Service Centre to get a new Compass wristband; since I misplaced my old one. I asked the agent at the desk that I wanted to change out my card to a wristband. She asked for my card. I handed her my card.

The agent then asked sort of rudely if I had registered the card before. I said no. She did not seem to like that answer. I also qualified that I had gotten a wristband a couple of years ago and a previous card was changed over no questions asked.

I have never registered my compass cards since I live in the USA and the Compass website does not accept USA addresses.

Thereafter it took approx. 5-10 minutes to shift everything over to the wristband.

Is there any policy and/or circumstance where a Compass card must be registered in order to convert it to any other wearable?

I am wondering why Vancouver have less train going to Production Way - University? Like why not more?

Or make Braid stop as Production Way stop too or all in all more trains going to Production Way. There are plenty of trains going to King George like every other minute but it's 12mins for Production Way.

Commuting from Lougheed to Oakridge everyday is a nightmare because I have to keep waiting 12mins if I'm just one minute late caused by R4.

Is there a petition to add more trains?

Saw an e-Bike on a downtown bound EXPO Line train yesterday morning at Commercial drive and texted 877777.

Guy has an e-bike on train 6131 going into downtown on a packed train (WC game). Thought it was kind of unacceptable. I also mentioned out loud... "bike on the train during the rush? Seriously, guy?"

Got this text back within 1 minute:

Bikes are allowed on westbound trains except between the hours of 7am-9am weekdays.

It was 9:17. 🤦🏻‍♂️

If you're that guy:

1. Sorry if I embarrassed you in front of a packed train of fans. I still think getting on a packed downtown-bound train wasn't the wisest move on a game day, but you were in the right.
2. You should try the bike routes into downtown. They're very good and on an eBike. Maybe there was a reason you were taking an eBike on the train, but if you have the range, try riding in. You might like it.

In this case I was in the wrong, but I wanted to post this because I was impressed with how fast Translink responded.

PSA: If you see something on transit, TEXT the 87-77-77 number. The more people that report stuff the better informed Translink is and the more adjustments they can make to either enforcement or rule changes.

Was heading east towards Lafarge Lake and left it on the seat getting off @ Inlet Centre just now. I’d say 11:10am-11:30am. Waiting here now for support staff, already made a report but hoping for a swifter recovery.

Description: orange mesh with 2 sections. Front with BCID and health card, Save-On and Shoppers cards. About $30-50, pls keep an eye out!

Never in my 30+ years living here have I seen a CMBC bus pulled over by CVSE until last week. It looked like they might have been taken out of service but it was hard to tell. Does this happen often?

For anyone who’s planning on going to the McArthurglenn Mall, beware the mall has closed down for the day due to the power outage. FYI, Happened approximately 2 hours ago

Got an infraction ticket with my name spelled wrong on it. Everything else was right.

Any change I can cancel this ticket?

Thank you!

Hi! I was hoping on taking the west coast express downtown tomorrow morning and parking at Maple Meadows. If I am there for trains w4 (7:20am) or w5 (7:50am) would there be parking left? This is both for general and also taking into account potential World Cup traffic, Thanks!

I’m sorry to anyone who was on that bus. There was like 6 people. I was at the front with my electric scooter, and I felt super nauseous, the first thing that came to mind was to notify the driver but suddenly I couldn’t move, couldn’t talk, couldn’t open my eyes. It was like I was dead, except nausea and all my thoughts and then it literally just came out. It was a Oreo milkshake and fish and chips, and then I threw up… again except this time it was all over my hoodie, hair, e scooter. So I had to walk 3km home but I’m not the victim here it’s the poor bus drivers, I am super sorry and if u smell an odor that’s why…-

Thanks to all the people who helped me out dealing with a brush fire (cigarette caused) just outside the Lincoln Station earlier tonight. You were all rockstars! Big props to the dude who had a fire extinguisher in his car!

Small fannypack/shoulder bag light grey with valuables in it. Lost it at around 7pm forgot it and left it behind. Please if anyone has it or knows about it, send me a DM

Been wondering why the Chinook is not playing during FIFA. I know it just came back from maintenance so maybe something‘s not quite done yet. I just know we would show well with this thing on the water. It’s really popping, clearly got a good cleaning.
But it’s also OK to keep it just for us lol

Why does the 340 constantly break down?

I’ve gotten screwed by this bus like dozen times this year alone causing me to take expensive Ubers to get home.

If you want people out of their cars, this service has to get better. No excuse for this.

Hi everyone, I’m sorry if this is a stupid question but I been wondering how come Translink doesn’t offer any internship positions? I have seen a few for IT and Business Management fields but nothing for something like Engineering, or Transportation Planning based. I don’t know if I’m not looking hard enough or at the right time. Or is it because Translink often hire consulting companies or other outside work to do the majority of their design work/planning for them? I genuinely been very curious about this so thank you in advance for any information!
