TransLink has announced a number of increases in bus service along Langley routes, mostly resulting in shorter wait times between buses.
The changes are part of the regular transit service changes that take place four times a year – in January, April, June, and September – based on changes in need, either permanently or on a seasonal basis.
There are no seasonal changes for the Langley area, but a number of service increases were announced, including:

• Saturdays will see times cut through the mornings and afternoons to early evenings both towards Langley Centre and Surrey Central, with buses leaving every 10-12 minutes.
