Beginning in September, students travelling to and from Moscrop Secondary will have additional transit options with the introduction of the R2 Marine-Willingdon RapidBus service. For further details please visit TransLink’s website regarding the R2 RapidBus.
Students travelling to Metrotown Station may choose to take either the 130 or the R2 RapidBus. Students who need to access stops along Willingdon Avenue north of Kingsway should continue to use the 130, as the R2 does not serve the local stops on the Willingdon hill. Read below for more details.
