The City of Surrey has a plan to build bus shelters across the city. The council is considering a 2-phase project to begin this. There are 1,425 bus stops in Surrey, of which only 362 have shelters.

The report submitted to the council by the city’s chief engineer, Scott Newman, calls for the installation of as many bus shelters across Surrey in two phases starting in July.

Newman said in his report that the number of transit riders in Surrey is growing faster than other cities in Metro Vancouver. Therefore, increasing weather protection for transit users is a priority.

According to the report, the first phase of installing or building bus shelters will be from July to September and the second phase will be from September to December.
