This extension of the Millennium Line will connect to the current SkyTrain network. The extension will also integrate with the regional bus network. All stations will be accessible by bus, walking, and cycling.
Once in service, the trip from VCC-Clark Station to Arbutus Station will take 11 minutes. This will save the average transit commuter almost 30 minutes a day and reduce congestion along Broadway.
Future Network Map
SkyTrain
The new extension will connect to the SkyTrain network, including the Expo and Canada lines.
At Broadway-City Hall, passengers will be able to transfer between the Millennium and Canada lines from an underground connection. The project will add new concourse and platform levels for the Broadway Subway Project below the Canada Line. There will be 3 connections to the 2 stations: direct access to the Millennium Line from the fare gates, as well as direct access from both northbound and southbound Canada Line platforms.
Buses
The Skytrain will integrate with the regional bus network. The Millennium line will end at Arbutus. Passengers can transfer from here to the 99 B-Line bus which will continue to UBC.
Cycling
Great Northern Way-Emily Carr and Arbutus stations will include bike parkades. These stations have easy access to the Central Valley Greenway and Arbutus Greenway. This provide good connectivity for both cyclists and pedestrians. Mobi stations will be located along Broadway and close to stations as well.
Millennium Line SkyTrain Extension to UBC
The Mayors’ Council and TransLink have identified the proposed Millennium Line SkyTrain Extension to UBC (UBCx) as one of the region’s 10-year priorities. The project will help to deliver Transport 2050, Metro Vancouver’s most recent 30-year Regional Transportation Strategy. Planning for the UBC Extension is underway. This includes extensive regional coordination and technical studies.
The Arbutus Station has been designed to allow for future rapid transit expansion to UBC.
