Former express bus service in Metro Vancouver, Canada
The 97 B-Line was an
express bus line in
Metro Vancouver , British Columbia, Canada. It connected
Coquitlam Central station on the
West Coast Express system to
Lougheed Town Centre station on the
SkyTrain system. It was operated by
Coast Mountain Bus Company and funded by
TransLink . Going west, the route went along Clarke Rd., St. John's St., Ioco Rd, Guildford Way and Pinetree Way, and served
Burnaby ,
Port Moody , and
Coquitlam . The 97 B-Line was discontinued on December 18, 2016, as part of the December 2016 TransLink seasonal bus service changes, many resulting from the opening of the
Evergreen Extension of the
Millennium Line .
[4] The line carried 10,750 passengers on weekdays in 2011.

Unlike the other
B-Line services, this route mainly used conventional 12.2-metre (40 ft) buses with no special paint scheme, instead of the 18.3-metre (60 ft) articulated buses. It took 45 minutes to complete during rush hour, and about 30 minutes off-peak.
