Ten regional bus routes connect directly to UBC, including the 99 B-Line along Broadway and the R4 Rapid Bus along 41st Ave. Route 68 is a great option for getting around campus.

Transit Options on Campus

UBC’s Vancouver campus is a large place. Once you’re here, route 68 will help you get to key locations and attractions in the area quickly. The 68 runs every 15-20 minutes all day every day (starting at 8am on weekends). This map shows the 68 route on campus.

The UBC Accessibility Shuttle is a free, shared ride service in the core of campus for people with conditions that impact their mobility. Visit the UBC Accessibility Shuttle webpage for shuttle stop locations.
