Transit riders crossing between downtown Vancouver and the North Shore will soon have access to more frequent SeaBus sailings.
TransLink said Friday it will increase service to sailings every 15 minutes, starting next week, as the economy continues to reopen amid the coronavirus crisis.
The trips will run from 7:15 a.m. to 9 p.m. Monday to Friday, and from 9:15 a.m. to 9 p.m. on weekends.
