[3] On June 28, 2018, the Mayors' Council and TransLink's board of directors approved the second phase of the 10-Year Vision.

This phase included provisions for two new B-Line routes, one of which would connect Newton Exchange to the SkyTrain's Expo Line via Scott Road.

Some of these stops depict a Northern Goshak, phulkari textiles, jaali patterns, and a dari mosaic.

The bus was part of the Vaisakhi parade in both Vancouver and Surrey, and continues to be used in regular service for both the R6 and the R4 routes.
