IMPORTANT NOTICE: During large scale events in Deer Lake Park, the RCMP in collaboration with transit authorities may be a last minute decision to temporarily halt bus service on Deer Lake Ave. This information may not be passed on immediately to City event staff making it very difficult to notify the public. In most cases, Coast Mountain Bus Company posts an “Interruption of Service” notice on the bus stops in question. If you arrive at the bus stop and wait for a specific bus that is late to arrive or there are many others waiting at the stop, chances are the service has been temporarily interrupted. We would like to suggest that you walk over to the bus loop at Burnaby City Hall. Proceed west on Deer Lake Ave. to Deer Lake Parkway and turn north (right) to City Hall bus loop. We do apologize for any inconvenience caused when this situation arises and will continue working at finding solutions that keep the public informed.
