• 173-Coquitlam Central Station/Cedar
Leaflet | Map data © OpenStreetMap contributors
We're adjusting service on the 173 by discontinuing two weekday afternoon trips from Terry Fox Secondary School towards Cedar.
Monday to Friday
School days-only trips towards Cedar at 2:19 p.m. and 3:35 p.m. will no longer run.
As part of these changes, bus stop #53784 (eastbound Riverwood Gate at Amazon Street) will be removed.
This change is being made to improve efficiency and ensure students in Coquitlam have a reliable trip home after school. The two discontinued trips on the 173 see very low ridership during the school year. Meanwhile, route 172, which serves the same area as the 173, experiences severe overcrowding and pass-ups on school day afternoons.
As alternatives to the discontinued trips on the 173 at bus stop #53784, students and customers travelling to Coquitlam Central Station can use:
Route 172 from bus stop #58763, a five-minute walk from the discontinued stop (accessible via school grounds).
Route 188 from bus stop #58673, a six-minute walk
