Dunbar Loop is one of the major transit exchanges in the western side of Vancouver. Part of the TransLink system, it is the westernmost exchange in the city of Vancouver. (Blanca Loop is further west and is accessible only from Vancouver, but it is in the University Endowment Lands).
Dunbar Loop can accommodate both diesel and trolley buses; it acts as a power station for trolleys.
Structure and location
Dunbar Loop is located at and near the intersection of Dunbar Street and 41st Avenue in the Dunbar-Southlands neighbourhood of Vancouver. Part of the exchange is on-street, while the rest is located at the southwest corner of the intersection, separated from regular traffic.
Because of its proximity to the University of British Columbia (UBC) and the University Endowment Lands, it is heavily used by students. All routes going westbound from Dunbar Loop terminate at UBC at some point, during regular weekday hours.
In addition to being able to handle trolleys and regular diesel buses, the on-street bays at Dunbar Loop can handle articulated buses as well; the #43 and #480 routes use them on a frequent basis, especially during UBC's winter session.
