480 Express

480 Express

The 480 is an express line in Metro Vancouver, Canada, connecting Bridgeport Station in Richmond to the UBC Loop at the University of British Columbia. Operated by Coast Mountain Bus Company and funded by TransLink, it serves Vancouver and Richmond. Heading to UBC, the route crosses north on the Oak Street Bridge into Vancouver, then heads northwest to Granville Street, turns westward onto 41st Avenue, heads northwest on Southwest Marine Drive, turns eastward at 16th Avenue, turns northward onto Wesbrook Mall, and terminates at the UBC loop. Like the 99 B-Line, larger articulated buses are normally used for this route, each with a 120-passenger capacity. Those buses are built by New Flyer Industries of Winnipeg, Manitoba, and some of these busses were once used by the now cancelled 98 B-Line.
