Marpole Loop

Located at the northern foot of the Arthur Laing Bridge, this is the southernmost exchange within the city of Vancouver.

[3] During World War II, workers transferred to buses at the station for travel to the Boeing plant on Sea Island.

[11] That year, the four-storey Grand Central Hotel was built on the Hudson St corner,[12] notable in the background to the interurban station and Oak streetcar.

8 streetcar services,[17] the 1949 launching of the Granville trolleybus line also modified the southern extremity of the route.

[21] To serve the existing routes, the Marpole bus loop opened in July 1949 on the then–Marpole depot site and adjacent land.

[29] On the opening of the SkyTrain's Canada Line in September 2009, suburban routes that served Marpole Loop from Delta, Surrey, and White Rock were rerouted to terminate at Bridgeport station.

[30] In April 2019, TransLink installed its first overhead battery-electric bus charger at the Marpole Loop.

[33] In March 2022, the pilot project conducted in association with the Canadian Urban Transit Research & Innovation Consortium (CUTRIC) was completed, and the battery-electric buses continued in regular service.

The City of Vancouver has been working with TransLink to improve the Marpole Loop by creating a more user-friendly and vibrant area.
