About the Lonsdale Quay Southbound – Waterfront Station Southbound crossing
North Vancouver into downtown: 12 minutes across Burrard Inlet, on a boat seating 395. This is the commuting direction in the morning, and the timetable shows it.
Ten-minute service at the peaks
Sailings leave Lonsdale Quay every 15 minutes from 05.47, tighten to every 10 minutes from 07.00 to 09.30, ease back to 15 through the middle of the day, tighten again to 10 between 15.00 and 18.30, then run every 15 until 21.02 and every 30 after that.
Weekends and the last boat
Saturday opens at 06.02 with 30-minute gaps for the first hour, then a flat 15 minutes until 21.02. Sunday and holidays do not begin until 08.02. The last southbound sailing is 01.00 Monday to Saturday and 23.00 on Sundays and holidays — well after the SkyTrain has finished for the night.
Who runs it
TransLink plans and funds the service; Coast Mountain Bus Company operates it, along with 96% of the region's buses. Both terminals were rebuilt in spring 2026, and both now carry Indigenous art and signage sampled from the artwork aboard the Burrard Chinook.
