History

On November 23, 2016, the Mayors' Council and TransLink's board of directors approved the first phase of the 10-Year Vision, which included provisions for new B-Line routes (including the Lougheed Highway B-Line). On July 23, 2019, the route was officially rebranded the R3 Lougheed Hwy RapidBus.[2] The R3 began service on January 6, 2020.[3] On April 20, 2020, Translink announced that the R3 route will be temporarily suspended on April 24 as a cost-saving measure due to reduced usage of the transit system during the COVID-19 pandemic.[4]
