History

On November 23, 2016, the Mayors' Council and TransLink's board of directors approved the first phase of the 10-Year Vision, which included provisions for new B-Line routes (including the Lougheed Highway B-Line). On July 23, 2019, the route was officially rebranded the R3 Lougheed Hwy RapidBus. The R3 began service on January 6, 2020. On April 20, 2020, Translink announced that the R3 route will be temporarily suspended on April 24 as a cost-saving measure due to reduced usage of the transit system during the COVID-19 pandemic in British Columbia.
