About Langley's Transit System

Major Transit Exchanges

  • Carvolth Exchange: Located at Highway 1 and 202 Street, this transit exchange serves regional express routes and connects to the broader Metro Vancouver network. Features include bicycle lockers and a Park & Ride facility.
  • Langley Centre: Located in downtown Langley City, this exchange is a hub for local routes and connections to Surrey and beyond.
  • Willowbrook Exchange: Adjacent to Willowbrook Shopping Centre, this exchange serves as a connection point for many routes through central Langley.

Current Challenges

  • Limited East-West Connectivity: Few routes connect eastern and western parts of the Township
  • Frequency Issues: Many routes operate at 30-minute or hourly intervals
  • Car-Dependent Development: Many neighbourhoods lack the density and street connectivity to support efficient transit
  • First/Last Mile Problem: Getting to and from transit stops is challenging in many areas

Future Transit Plans

Several significant transit improvements are planned for Langley:

  • SkyTrain Extension: The Surrey-Langley SkyTrain project will extend rapid transit to Langley Centre, dramatically improving connections to Surrey and the broader region.
  • Bus Network Redesign: TransLink plans to revise the bus network to better connect to the future SkyTrain and serve growing areas.
  • Transit-Oriented Development: New developments are planned around future transit hubs to create walkable communities with better transit access.

Strong Towns Perspective

From a Strong Towns perspective, successful transit systems depend on:

  • Walkable Urban Form: Transit works best in places where people can easily walk to and from stops
  • Mixed-Use Development: Combining housing, jobs, and services around transit hubs increases ridership
  • Connected Street Networks: Grid-based street patterns allow for more direct and efficient transit routes
  • Incremental Improvement: Building a better transit system happens step-by-step, responding to actual travel patterns
