Attention all DIVERSEcity clients and staff who rely on public transit: starting April 27 until early June, the King George Skytrain station will be closed. Translink has released the following information: Buses will still operate between King George and Surrey Central stations, with additional buses running every 15 minutes during weekday peak hours. If your usual bus route ends at King George Station, it will continue northbound to terminate at Surrey Central Station. Existing bus routes that include a stop at King George Station will maintain their regular stops and routes. For those commuting from Surrey Central Skytrain Station, the R1 bus directly connects to Newton Exchange, which is a block away from DIVERSEcity Newton Town Centre campus To get to DIVERSEcity Surrey Community Campus, take the R1, get off the bus at 76 Avenue and take a short walk down the street to reach DIVERSEcity Surrey Community Campus, as seen on the second slide of this post.
