The line over the Lions Gate might be for West Van- Downtown commuters, and the expectation is that Lynn Valley commuters get off at Lonsdale.  |
Rapid Bus Transit is defined in the NSATP as anything that might have one or some of the following: "Dedicated right of way, separate lane or mixed with traffic, limited stop or transit priority measures. Service frequency 2 – 15 minutes."
Run the 229/230 at 15 min frequencies staggered 7.5min apart. You could run the 229 with limited stops through CNV to provide a faster option for getting to the Quay versus 230 local service. Alternatively, you keep the 230/229 at current 15-30min frequencies, cut stops in the CNV so that they stop at 23rd/15th/13th/3rd/Quay only, and implement a new 10min local service bus from the Quay to 23rd.
Both these options would improve Lonsdale to a Rapid Bus Network but neither are a B-Line.

I thought they come down by 210.

They do. Seabus trips are mostly fed by 228/229/230 (see image below). Upper Lynn, West Lynn & Lower Lynn to Vancouver is served by 210. 14th-16th street through CNV to Vancouver/Cap Mall/Park Royal is served by 240. Upper Lonsdale/Lynn Valley to Cap Mall/Park Royal is served by 229/230 to 240/255 or 228 to 240/255.
