Kootenay Loop is a transit exchange in Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada. It is the easternmost major transit exchange in the city of Vancouver, with routes serving Vancouver, Burnaby, North Vancouver and the Tri-Cities.
Structure and location
Kootenay Loop opened on August 20, 1950, and is located on East Hastings Street at its intersection with Kootenay Street. It is less than 100 metres (330 ft) from Vancouver's border with the city of Burnaby. It is near the Pacific National Exhibition grounds and the Second Narrows Bridge to North Vancouver. It is located just northwest of the Burnaby Transit Centre bus depot.
The exchange can handle regular-length diesel buses, articulated buses and electric trolley buses. Part of the exchange is on Hastings Street itself, with the other section (used by the trolley buses) is separated from regular traffic. It is also one of the power stations for the trolleys.[citation needed]
Kootenay Loop used to be a streetcar turnaround as there was no service into Burnaby after 1949. There was a small cafe in the centre until the mid-1950s.[citation needed]
