of route is very low averaging 105 persons per day of which
59 are peak period trips. It is proposed that the #149 be
rerouted via Barnet Highway replacing the #160 which is to be
rerouted via Guildford Way. During peak periods the
#165-Pipeline will provide service along Dewdney Trunk Road.
At other times alternate service is available by walking to
either the Barnet Highway or Ranch Parkway.

It ig also proposed that the #149-Dewdney will be renumbered
to #147-Clarke as the #149 route will no longer operate along
Dewdney Trunk Road.

#150~Lougheed

The #150 route operates a peak period service between Port
Coquitlam and Lougheed Mall. During the AM peak less than 15
passengers per hour are carried, while in the PM peak less
than 6 passengers per hour are carried. As this route is
duplicated by other services (#100 and 152) it is proposed

that it be discontinued.

Minor Scheduling Changes

Minor scheduling changes are proposed to all routes in ‘the
Northeast Sector in order to improve productivity. Some
early morning and late evening trips are proposed for
discontinuation due to very low ridership.

Ge2Ze3e2 Phase It Changes for September 1985
Additional Peak Period Capacity

Yo meet projected ridership demand, it is proposed that an
additional peak period trip he added between the Northeast
Sector and downtown Vancouver. The added capacity will
increase overall passenger capacity by almost 9% during

1985/86.

Other Scheduling Changes

During the daytime the #148 and 149 routes provide a combined
15 minute mid-day service between Port Moody and New
Westminster. Passenger counts indicate that a 30 minute
service between Port Moody and Lougheed Mall would adequately

serve demand.

t during the mid-day Monday through Friday
and all day Saturday the #148 and 149 routes operate a
combined half hourly service north of Lougheed Mall, each
route would therefore operate every 60 minutes.
