    The SeaBus service and the 3 SkyTrain lines are Air Conditioned...

    The drivers area of the smaller community shuttle buses are also A/C equipped...

    BUT most bus routes are NOT Air conditioned...

    The highway style Orion buses ARE Air conditioned, so routes such as #301, 311, 351, 352, 354, 394, 555, 601, 602, 603, 604, 606 & 608 (and some C#92's) are usually air conditioned equipped buses...

    West Vancouver has just started using their new New Flyer 40 foot Xcelsior buses which ARE A/C equipped. So you might enjoy cooler buses on some of the #250, 251, 252, 253, 254, 255, 256, 257 & 258 routes...
    Also, the newest 25- 60 foot long articulated buses are also A/C equipped, so some #49, 403, 480 & the occasional #620 trips will also enjoy A/C equipped buses...

    I hope those A/Cs do not come with a fee hike in the future.......

    Fares went up January 1... And I believe the next scheduled fare increase is January 1 2016... (Every 3 years)...

    I think that the company has now been instructed to only buy A/C equipped vehicles, after an Industrial investigation into just how warm it does get inside buses...

    We've had the highway Orions for over 10 years now...
