Vancouver, British Columbia, is served by TransLink (Coast Mountain Bus Co) (216 routes) and is home to roughly 2,400 transit shelters across the city. The local design code requires every shelter to handle a 1.8 kPa snow load and a 0.45 kPa wind load, and to comply with BC Building Code 3.8 accessibility provisions. With an average winter temperature of 4.1°C and 38 cm of annual snowfall, Vancouver shelters need cold-rated gaskets, roof drainage sized for snow load, and footings to 0.45 m frost depth. BusShelters.ca delivers and installs every shelter type in Vancouver with stamped engineering for Zone 4 (BC).
The Vancouver fleet operates roughly 2400 shelters across 216 TransLink (Coast Mountain Bus Co) routes, with stamped engineering at Ss 1.8 kPa snow load and q1/50 0.45 kPa wind load.
