Translink CEO Kevin Desmond said the transit authority identified those areas as needing a boost in service most.
“Those are service areas that are either under-served or not serviced,” he said.
Desmond said about 20,000 people in those neighborhoods will be within five minutes of a bus stop.
Desmond was a guest on CKNW’s Steele and Drex Show.
